Teaching

Teaching is a gift to me as well as to my students and colleagues. The interactive relationships that emerge reveal new perspectives and nurture experimentation for all participants.

Selected Workshops

• The Whole Body at Once, a body mind series
• A Taste of Watershed (on reunion), a performance practice
• Reunion with the Self through Community and Movement
• A Community and Dance Workshop, for dance teachers

• Ideokinesis, a body-mind practice for both dancers and non dancers
• Composition/performance

Residencies

I have been an artist in residence at a variety of colleges and universities. What I value most is the chance to share what I am thinking about and working on in a way that I hope will encourage students to pursue their own artistry.
