Teaching Artist in Schools

Igniting curiosity, creativity, and imagination through dance and storytelling

Spring Performance, San Francisco, CA (2019)

I bring expressive arts education into schools and community spaces through facilitation of workshops and regular classes for ages 4-18. With 10 years of teaching experience, I continue to develop my approach to engage students with their own talents and gifts of expression. I introduce and integrate community agreements, non-violent communication, and ways of storytelling through expressive arts including dance, poetry, and devised theater. I encourage my students to take physical and emotional risks, listen and support one another, and bring a curious, playful spirit to their developing craft!

Grateful to have been a teaching artist for the following schools and organizations: UC Davis Youth Programs, Encina Preparatory High School, Adda Clevenger Elementary , Vallejo Charter School, San Joaquin Delta Community College, UC Davis Youth Speaks Conference, Mutual Assistance Network, Halka Art Project
