Introduction
I enjoy teaching immensely & find it compliments my performance-making work very well. Artistic work is for me about opening up a space for things to happen, as well as about the personal process of all concerned, not just the “author”. So teaching & making choreography come from a very similar place for me. Here are some upcoming dates. 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.

Classes
Contemporary Dance Class — Receiving The Dance Of The Day
The class brings together the self-exploratory and potentially healing practice of somatic work with the more external structure of a contemporary technique class. I believe it is possible to remain aware and embodied even while enacting set exercises and sequences, and that this combination can give the performer a wide variety of options.
The Antidote to Capitalism is Community
What does it mean to do something with our bodies together? And how can community not undermine the individual’s desires, but empower them, and vice versa?
Workshops
Sex and Space — Choreographing the Scene
A Workshop on Dance, Desire, and Performing the Erotic Body
On Intimacy in Process and Performance
A holistic approach to making art that both draws from and affects our personal, social, and political realities.
Group Dynamics of Desire
This class explores dynamics of collective desire, touching on awareness, acceptance, and articulation of personal boundaries, the relationship of the individual to the group, and the notion of pleasure as a path to embodiment.
The Choreography of a Play Party
A workshop examining the intersection of Play Parties and Performances.
Finding The Most Open Question
A Workshop on solo and group improvisation as a choreographic tool, and the complexity of simplicity.
