I like to consider my time with others as an exchange and design my workshops and sessions specifically to the individual(s) in the space. No workshop or performative project is ever the same and reflects the dialogue between those I engage with. In many ways, I consider my work to always have elements of an art installation - even if the audience only consists of those that shared the space together.
I draw upon performative techniques, restorative methods, and philosophical query to bring about heightened sensory awareness, in the external and internal space. I also take into consideration the various aspects that contribute to a shared practice: artificial and natural lighting, the season, the time of day, the energy of the individuals and how that transposes into a collective shared energy. Integrating this awareness creates an energy around the moment as a conscious shared experience. Some workshops might focus more on movement and embodiment practices, others might build upon written reflections and blind sketch drawings, or it might be a time of complete rest and soaking up eco-soundscapes. I try to listen to the moment and hone in on what is most needed in both creative play and personal circumstance. These are meditative environments that unfold into workshops, one-to-one sessions and even performative inquiries that climb onto the stage in various capacities. Often, what I offer is an opportunity to calm the nervous system, recalibrate mental patterning, and stoke a creative space for authenticity.
