/// 2015 - 2023

A very important part of my artistic practice is through the sharing of and the de constructing of the ideas, concepts and questions that interest me. Over the last 10 years I have taught and facilitated body based movement workshops across many different academic, activist and community settings. Ranging from workshops on consent, pleasure and reproductive justice with young women with cognitive disabilities, or to delivering performance workshops on pleasure as a practice for undergraduate programs or to teaching workshops on the theme of translation as a method for inclusion within integrated dance spaces.  I most recently gave a seminar as part of the online platform and academic group "Eco- Somatica" based across Mexico and Colombia and a lecture workshops on radical care and relational ecology for the Masters in Live Art program at the National University in Bogota, Colombia. I am hugely inspired by the many different horizontal structures that exist within both learning and teaching together, a strong believer that we are all teachers and that we all have something that we can share. I love exploring the different elements of my work and practice via these formats, inspired to find and create diverse and inclusive ways to explore the construct of the body together.
