Whether it’s a dance, a drawing, a play, a film, or an immersive experience, the common denominator is a driver ~ a pilot for ideas. In a sense, these are all stories, just told differently.

Labs can be built around a single project, a shared theme, or a particular threshold in your process. They draw on interdisciplinary approaches to open different routes into the work without asking you to leave your primary medium behind.

These offerings are available for groups and can also be adapted for 1:1 sessions. They’re fully customizable and can stand alone or be combined.

1:1 CREATIVE SUPPORT FOR ARTISTS

For individual artists, ensembles, and collaborators.

Custom, collaborative sessions for your process, projects, thresholds & works-in-progress.

Bring your tangled questions, layered projects, evolving voice, or unfinished work. Together we’ll navigate transition, enter new material, develop existing work, reclaim the unfinished, and make space for what wants to emerge.

These 1:1 sessions support artists at any stage ~ whether you’re returning to your work, standing at a creative threshold, or deep in process. Together, we trace what’s already present and build structures that support where you’re headed.

CREATING ACROSS DISCIPLINES 

Instant ensemble + solo work.

This studio course takes an interdisciplinary approach to devising performance.

Together we will pool our collective experiences to work through these questions:
How can we learn to see and create differently?
How can we mine deeper meaning within creative exploration and translate it into form?

With class time balanced between individual and ensemble investigations, the course will integrate set movement, structured improvisation and written, visual and sonic prompts designed to lead you toward the invention of your own work. Participants are asked to develop and curate materials throughout the course to construct solo projects.

Designed as an intensive eight-week course or full semester. Individual time is scheduled for mentoring solo projects. Workshops can be structured for shorter periods.

ENGAGING IN THE ARTS, NYC 

A creative research experience in real time.

New York offers an unparalleled encounter with the arts—across disciplines, cultures, and forms. This offering invites you to step into that encounter with intention, curiosity, and a collaborative spirit.

We’ll explore a range of diverse, interdisciplinary art events as a creative research team, engaging as active witnesses, responsive critics, and expressive makers. The focus is not just on what we see, but how we see—and how that perception shapes what we make in return.

This work includes:
• Attending and analyzing live art experiences (visual, performative, conceptual)
• Sharing reflections and creative responses in a group context
• Translating experience into new forms—written, visual, performative, or hybrid
• One-on-one mentoring to support solo projects and deepen inquiry

Together, we’ll investigate:

• How do we prepare ourselves to encounter a work with fresh eyes?
• How does the work want to be seen or heard?
• What does rigorous, compassionate critique look like?
• What new creative possibilities emerge from witnessing and reflecting?

You’ll develop sharper tools for perception, interpretation, and creative response—within a supportive cohort of fellow artists and thinkers.

Format:
This offering can be structured as an 8-week intensive, full semester, or short-form workshop. Each iteration includes both group engagement and individual mentorship.

INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE 

This studio course takes a multi-disciplinary approach to devising performance and creating text, movement and visual material. Together we will pool our collective experiences to work through these questions:

• How can we learn to read, interpret and jockey ideas across platforms?
• How can we see and create differently?
• How can we mine deeper meaning within creative exploration and translate it into form?
• How can this inform and deepen your own work?

With class time balanced between individual and ensemble investigations, the course will integrate set movement, structured improvisation and written, visual and sonic prompts as an engine to lead you toward the invention of your own work.

Designed as an intensive eight-week course or full semester. Individual time is scheduled for mentoring solo projects. Workshops can be structured for shorter periods.

BODY TIME SPACE

Our aim is to examine and experience an understanding of stage performance within movement and this living document — your body.

A performer is a vector of information. Physical, intuitive, reflexive presence is the root of the instrument. Space is the medium for live performance. We will become more conscious and articulate with occupying, activating and collaborating with these materials.

You will:
Experience and learn how performers work and train physically
Develop ways of seeing and talking about performance from a physical perspective
Build physical presence
Expand functional biomechanics
Increase physical expression through warm-ups, set movement, structured improvisations and movement invention.

Designed as an intensive eight-week course or full semester. Individual time is scheduled for mentoring solo projects. Workshops can be structured for shorter periods.

SPONTANEOUS COMPOSITION 

An immediate way of activating an ensemble of any size into action and practice.

By delving into creative investigations and research, original movement vocabulary, and predetermined contextual and spatial criteria, we’ll construct a world together, one that builds accumulatively through structured improvisation and spontaneous composition, powered by your creativity.

We will build a complex improvisational / practice-structure built to run itself via internal cues and events to set it all into motion, flux and invention.

You will:

Increase deep attention and listening skills
Create instantly and boldly
Develop physical and cognitive stamina
Experience collective collaboration and invention
Build physical presence
Work immediately across varied mediums

Flexible duration, 3-4 hr workshop to 1-3+ weeks

BODY WORK 

Ongoing 1:1 Sessions or small group instruction

Your body is a mobile studio and your most valued material — it’s the genesis of all you do.
All work is body based and means so many different things to so many different bodies.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR INSTRUMENT:

• So that you can dynamically partner with your work for the long game.
• Becoming grounded, connected and integrated generates the energy and vitality needed for sustained creative efforts.
• Physical well-being positively influences mental clarity and focus, allowing you to approach your process with heightened concentration and creativity.
• Nurturing your strength, flexibility, mobility and nervous system creates a deep supportive resource for years to come.
