Practice · enters through meaning and method

My practice creates conditions for embodied listening.

Movement and sound become ways of discovering new relationships — with ourselves, with others and with the living world.

Workshop participants gathered closely around shared touch and contact.

01AttentionBecoming sincerely interested in what is already happening: weight, breath, contact, sound and impulse. A workshop facilitator explores movement with open arms while participants observe in the background.

03PresenceRemaining with what unfolds, without rushing to explain, improve or perform it. A workshop facilitator speaks with open hands beside a textured wall.

Ethics of practice

01Body, attention, listening and presence are approached as artistic materials.
02The process holds artistic value in itself, rather than serving merely as preparation for an outcome.
03Relationships — with oneself, others and the living world — remain a field of inquiry rather than a predetermined conclusion.
04Conditions are created without prescribing a particular experience.

“Stay curious about your own experience.”

Curiosity is what keeps the inquiry alive.
