I love sharing practice through teaching.
My classes are equally accessible for trained dancers and perfomers, curious practitioners, and anybody who wishes to join.
CI is foundational to my practice.
I first collided with Contact Improvisation studying at Oberlin College (US) in 1995, with professor and scholar Ann Cooper Albright. My love of CI took root a decade later with practice communities in Berne (CH) and with LIC, the Liverpool Improvisation Collective (UK). I studied with Nancy Stark Smith and have been inspired by teachers and choreographers including Kirstie Simson, Eva Karczag, Eszter Gál, Peter Pleyer, Jess Curtis, Jules Beckman, Kathleen Hermesdorf, Keith Hennessy, and Stephanie Maher and so many more...
I began teaching CI in 2009 at Liverpool John Moore’s University, and have taught locally and internationally ever since.
