About me

Educator Artist Researcher

In the last twenty-five years, my professional, creative and pedagogical activities have mostly taken place in education contexts. My education activities include working with children, youth, educators and artists from diverse populations and communities. I have presented at provincial, national and international conferences, where I advocate and model innovative pedagogical practices in dance education. I have contributed in various capacities in the development of dance curriculum policy, guidelines and resources for Ontario teachers. I am the founder of Pulse Ontario Dance Conference that hosts a 3-day provincial gathering for dance educators, youth, emerging and established dance artists. My artistic activities include creating, producing and performing for the stage, single channel, 360 degree video and site-based immersive events. My recent activities as an embodied scholar engages in research activities that centralizes the body in research endeavors. The intention of this website is to publish and share my arts-based research creations.

Body-Led Research

Bodily Writing 

My creative and pedagogical practices as a dance artist, dance educator and researcher locates the body as a site for cognition. I assert that the body is the cognitive, sensory, and perceptual landscape of the brain and that the ‘contentious’ body needs to be re-inscribed as reliable source of knowing.
