Community

Community is an integral part of my practice, creating opportunities for us to come together and share in the joy and freedom of dance in social settings. Through Dance in Devon I held the Dance Ambassador post for East Devon, increasing participation and dance within the region. Dance and social connection offers a life line of well being for many people, especially to those in isolation. Dance in Dementia Care, Dance for Parkinson's, Creative dance workshops within primary schools and Adult classes with performance opportunities are just some of the community participation projects I have undertaken.

December 2011 I co lead the Ecologies of Exchange, Project in Venezuela We worked with the local community exploring ecology through movement and participatory practice. An opportunity for cross cultural exchange amongst movement artists and ecologists and a chance to offer dance experience to the local school groups
