I have worked as a performer, artist, researcher and somatic educator across the globe for 40 years. I coordinated the visionary dance program at London Metropolitan University between 2002 and 2012 and was Professor of Somatic Performance & Education at Bath Spa University (UK) between 2012 & 2022. I initially trained in visual art and dance, and am a teacher of the Feldenkrais Method ® which forms a rich foundation for my teaching, arts practice and research. I am interested in critical somatic arts legacies, and my writings and performance works have been published internationally. I recently co-edited JDSP Vol. 13.1 & 2 (2022): ‘Embodying Eco-Consciousness: Somatics, Aesthetic Practice and Social Action’. In 2023 I hosted the 'Listening Bodies/Moving Voices' Feldenkrais Method & Deep Listening workshop series with colleague Jon Petter and two Human-Nature Connect residencies through IR.
