Teaching

I believe in body-based inquiry, creative expression, and “thinking” beyond the intellect. I believe that this kind of embodiment is an innate tool for healing and creativity, as we discover new ways of moving, connecting, and finding inspiration.

WRITE / MOVE

4-week workshop series combining creative writing and movement with Ellie Sawatzky & Zoe Jordan.

Each session includes writing prompts, guided exercises, and free movement. You might dance a poem or write an embodied memory or find the shape of a feeling you don’t have words for yet. Together we’ll explore how words live in the body, how movement can generate language, and how attention to sensation can open new creative pathways.

This series offers a playful, low-pressure setting to explore self-expression and presence, and to practice taking up space—both on the page and in the room.

When: Mondays March 9, 16, 23*, 30 • 6:30–9:00 pm PST
***(March 23: 6:45–9:15 pm)

Where: What Lab, 1814 Pandora Street

Cost: $250 | Early Bird (until Feb 10): $220
