Classes
Artistically, my approach is to provide ways in which they realize the body in practice as a site of various creative avenues while cultivating their curiosity, artistic individuality, and the drive for innovation. What I value most in learning is the development of one’s individuality in all of its forms. It includes one’s unique body, lived experiences, and cultural identity.
