Experience

As a dance practitioner and educator I am thoroughly experienced in various contemporary dance and modern dance techniques, ballet and somatic movement approaches. I have been devising ballet classes for contemporary movers of all levels and I introduce a gentle, somatic approach to all techniques. I teach improvisation and composition, and relate strongly to awareness methods. I have been teaching dance to various target groups including professional dancers, students, adolescents, children and adult non-professional dancers. I has comprehensive knowledge of dance history and dance and performance theory in the areas of contemporary dance, site-based performance, post-modern, modern dance and conceptual dance. I have comprehensive research skills and experience in mentorship and tutoring.
