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.

Embodied Movement - AUTUMN 2026

In this series, we will take a playful, inquisitive approach to exploring our own bodies’ movements, both solo and in ‘conversation’ with others. No experience necessary. Curiosity required!

Location: TBD

Time & Particulars TBD

Cost: $20 / class [cash/e-transfer]
*** Nobody turned away for lack of funds

WRITE / MOVE

Autumn 2026 - details TBD

A hybrid workshop combining creative writing and movement with Ellie Sawatzky & Zoe Jordan.

Through writing prompts, guided exercises, and free movement, we will explore how language and the body inform one another. You might dance a poem or write an embodied memory, or discover the shape of a feeling for which you don’t yet have words. 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.
