Workshops
I am currently an adjunct Faculty at Temple University Boyer College of Music and Dance as well as The School of Public Health. I currently teach Yoga-Iyengar and Alignment-based and meditation both in-person as well as asynch. I teach a Senior Seminar and Graduate Seminar where students learn critical issues facing the field framed from a decolonizing pedagogy centering racial and climate justice and finding their voice within. These courses focus on arts administration and building a resilient portfolio for post-graduation.
I have offered multiple workshops where I teach and facilitate regionally, nationally, and internationally. My workshop offerings range from choreographing, the art of directing, improvisation, performance art, site responsive performance, and collaboration.
