PRODUCTION NEWS
Fluid Resilience
Thank you for the support last fall, our German premiere of Fluid Resilience was fulfilling on so many levels. Our collaborative team was exceptional, and the production of the Tanzfabrik managed the pandemic protocols with grace and ease.
We are looking forward to tour this work and share widely.

UPCOMING RESIDENCY
Reclaiming Attention
February 8-26, 2021
Ottawa Dance Directive (ODD)’s Artistic Director Yvonne Coutts supported the early stages of development of Fluid Resilience, and it is with whom we are seeking ways to present this work in Ottawa in 2022.
She has curated and shaped a new initiative for ODD a residency: Reclaiming Attention.
She has invited myself, Jared Gradinger, Dr. Allyson Quinlan and Sigal Zouk from Fluid Resilience to take part in this unique offering of a professional development/artists' residency. We will offer a blending our research, and findings, process and working practices which all streamed into the choreographic performance work.
We are joined by a vibrant assembly of artists/practitioners and their fine offerings including Tedd Robinson, Carmel Whittle and Ras Kagiso Mpala.
There will be a collection of scores, an accumulative library, intentional outdoor practices, among other offerings.
We are proposing to connect, explore and engage in practices in ways across distance with less screen time; more self-guiding for one’s own research and practice infused with and inspired by these offerings. Then sharing these in collected spaces.
Please note the application cut off is January 18th at 12:00 EST.

HIVE Sweden
The HIVE Sweden's producing partner Clara Birnbaum and myself have re-scheduled the HIVE from June 2021 to 2022. Exact dates will be sorted out by the end of the year. We are fluidly shifting to prevent likely impossed shifts due to the current global evolution through this pandemic which we are in.
We have a vibrant group of artists who've accepted invitaitons and will gather when the obstacles are less. Joyfully looking forward to that.

CRANIOSACRAL Practice
Craniosacral/Expanded Consciousness sessions have many benefits for wellness including: deeply easing stress, deep rest for the nervous system, increased vitality, unwinding of unwanted habits, and increased general well-being. Craniosacral also has many benefits for Health including; improved eyesight/vision, reduced acute pain, rehabilitation in the neural field, learning disabilities, gross and fine motor problems, developmental delays, autism, headaches, tinnitus, TMJ syndrome, stress disorders, trauma and neurological conditions.
My work with Craniosacral work is a hybrid practice which includes working with expanded consciousness and with Nature. I work co-creatively with each client given one's individuality and needs. Please note that some themes and issues could find resolution in one session, some in three to four sessions and others over time.
Berlin Practice days Monday, Thursday and Friday afternoons.
