I love working with people, hearing their stories, and helping them to find a voice through movement and writing. I love big questions, little questions, metaphors, and seeking. When I teach, I find the best moments are the spontaneous ones -- the moments born from a comment, or a question, a "mistake," or an ah-ha! sparked from exploration. While working with people to share stories, poetry, a play,  memoir, movement theatre, or circus, we discover. It is work that keeps me coming back because it is always engaging.

Here's a free creative writing prompt for you, from me. If you use it in your classroom, on your own, or in a workshop, send me what writing came of it in an email. I'd love to read what you wrote. Do you want to make a hula hoop? I have some free instructions just for you.

I teach all age groups, and have taught in many settings. You can view my resume here. If you want a memorable workshop, seminar, or arts residency, contact me and let's talk.

Why circus arts,
movement,
and poetry?
