My Approach
My work is sourced in practices that include improvisation, Alexander Technique, Body-Mind Centering®, extended vocal technique, (syn)aesthetic performance, mindfulness meditation and Qigong. I have had many teachers along the way who form a lineage of practice for which I am truly grateful. Some of these I have interacted with in person others through writings that have made profound shifts in my meaning making. There are a specific few I would like to acknowledge, they are: Aileen Moreton-Robinson, Elizabeth Grosz, Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, Josephine Machon, Arawana Hayashi, Ariella Aïsha Azoulay and Pema Chödrön.

Courses & Workshops
As co-director of Live Particle, I teach embodied practice courses with my colleague Camilla Maling.
The work you will do with me will involve guided as well as self-directed moving and vocal toning. The process is awareness-based and supports you to consciously attune to your body to feel more connected. With a Bachelor & Masters in Education and a PhD in creative practice, I bring a unique set of skills to these experiential sessions. Over the past 30 years I have synthesised knowledge and skills related to adult learning, creativity, improvisation and embodiment that have yielded a comprehensive repertoire of practices that can support you to overcome your particular challenges, help you to realise your creative potential and allow space for you to develop a personal ethic for sustainable living.
