As a freelancer, I have (co-)facilitated various movement classes, workshops and community events with people from mixed backgrounds and abilities (Sadlers Wells East, Caxton Community Centre| DECODA Summer Dance Festival - Coventry | CON/Verge residency - Ponderosa, Germany | Chisenhale Dance Space, Tripspace, London Buddhist Arts Centre | Eilissos Theatre & Present Body - Athens | Creating Ground | Bromley Greek Language school). I have also taught yoga in studios in London (Ground Yoga/Hourglass Coffee, The Well Garden).
In 2013, I was invited by Zoukak Theatre (Beirut) to do a residency at their Festival Sidewalks (sponsored by the British Council) and gave a workshop, talk & performance. In 2015, I co-organised the 2015 ECITE (European Contact Improvisation Teachers Exchange) in PAF, France and was responsible for the research strand of the festival.
Ongoing training
2024: In September 2024, I completed the "Dance and Health: Advancing your Practice CPD programme" designed by Emily Jenkins (Move Dance Feel) in partnership with Kate Rogan, Helen Kindred and Sian Hopkins of Middlesex University Dance Department. This programme offered me invaluable skills for working with dance and movement in health and community settings.
2025: In July 2025, I completed my Postgraduate Diploma in the Therapeutic Arts from the Institute for Arts in Therapy and Education (IATE). An incredible internal journey through the therapeutic application of different artforms - Art, Clay, Drama, Poetry, Sandplay, Music, Movement and Bodywork, Puppetry. It has been a thorough foundation for working with the arts collaboratively to address mental health issues and has equipped me to work in a trauma-informed and sensitive way based on empathy, listening, grounding and attunement.
