There are a number of different workshops & classes i offer, so if You’re interested in booking me for any of them, please get in touch! I love to travel & share my practices in many different contexts.

“But I could never do THAT in a piece!” – Choreography as an Active and Receptive Practice
What do we do with the Desires that emerge while making work?
Embodied Fermentation/MicroSomatics
Fermenting foods is an essential part of nearly all human cultures – and some nonhuman ones as well! As much as a third of all the food consumed worldwide has been fermented in some way. Many of us, at home with time on our hands during recent lockdowns, have newly rediscovered home fermentation, as a […]
Desire – on Intimacy in Process and Performance
A holistic approach to making art that both draws from and affects our personal, social, and political realities.
BDSM & Choreography
Practice, ritual, the relationship of bodies in space, consent, reflection, composition, collaboration, and developing awareness around seeing and being seen.
Men* touching Men*
A workshop on listening, receiving, and being an empowered ally.
