teaching and lecturing


Certified to teach Skinner Releasing Technique (SRT) at Introductory and Ongoing levels, I teach somatic process and SRT as access to new subtleties of feeling, allowing, clarity, autonomy and resonance.  Through creative experimentation, touch, and poetic imagery explored in deeply relaxed expanded states of consciousness, SRT supports the letting go of unnecesary habitual holding patterns and cultivates technical and kinaesthetic skills to support all forms of dance and, ultimately, the “dance of life” (Joan Skinner 2006). I teach professional dancers, in conservatoires and universities, dance teachers, in communities and in arts-and-health, both locally and internationally.

SRT intensive, Kinitiras, Athens, Greece 2018

I aim to develop a heightened creative sense of awareness, freedom and presence;  safe, empowering and sustainable technical skills;  enact somatic encounter between inner and outer worlds; enlist the articulate body into dialogue with space, desire, personal history and the world; and support the dancer towards sensitive embodied agency and play - in a deeply embedded relationality.
