Teaching
I am a teacher with Circle Cranio Biodynamic practitioner trainings with Tracy Evans and Jo Coole and previously taught on 2 cycles of the Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy training at CTET from 2016 – 2020. I have had the good fortune to be in teachings Teams alongside Katherine Uklea in 6 of the 8 years I have been teaching to date
Embodied movement practice exploring Embryological development patterns of limbs through material relationships
I am researching the confluence of my Dance and Embodied movement teaching practice, the Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy teaching, and the teaching and practice tradition of Dzogchen within the Buddhist tradition. For more info on workshops that invite participation within this research please visit my EmbodyStudy page. I welcome enquiries about sharing my reaching and research practices, if you feel they may be a good fit for your context please do get in touch for dialogue around what may be possible.
My teaching practice is focused on facilitating embodied explorations, both through demonstration and leading guided movement scores to enable a deep felt-experience of the learning content from the syllabus, alongside developing and crafting dynamic presentations that engage students through a constellation of striking images and physical materials as visual and tactile aids.
In leading practical sessions I am drawn to support students trough keeping things simple, practical humorous and permissive, to keep an open mind and a kind heart toward oneself and others. I find this helps take the pressure off having outcomes and lets people begin to feel at home in the focus of the practice, often a new territory being explored. This in and of itself seems to resource students into a centered calm presence whereby the nature of what’s being explored can really reveal to the practitioner its’ qualities and specificity.
