Teaching/Coaching

The Energetic Body Build a energetic charge and increase it. Understand boundaries. Learn to become aware of what’s actually going on and what you are vibrating. This work is based on Sara’s years of study in healing modalities. This is a series of intensive 1 to 1 ½ hr. sessions.

Movement Alchemy The creative process.

A physical/ mental training in an intensive workshop format for movers and performers. Engage in solo, partnering and group process through the systems of the body/mind in action designed to align you with purpose/focus and meaning. This includes, visualization, energy training, and lots of dancing. 1- 4 weeks.

Performance Training Tribes

Over the past few years I have begun to approach each performance ensemble as a unique “tribe”, a group of people focused around a specific goal and method for public presentation and personal development. I ask each member of the ensemble to be pro-active, to show up, to delve deeply into their belief systems and somatic experience. I ask that they create context with me—that is, a new set of coordinates for our shared work—and commit to manifesting in rehearsal, in workshops, and on stage their human practical and intuitive connections . The connections we draw from touch down into the deeper energetic patterns of our bodies and outward to broader social and historical relationships. Each “tribe” is unique, the groups vary, the environments are different, and the work we create is different each time. My training is the only constant–it gives us a common language.

For performances, the tribe has been the title, and the subtitle is what comes up in the environment of the place we work, the politics of our context and the personal stories and questions we generate through our collaboration: 3-8 weeks.

Movement Coaching You are the Transformative Agent

The goal of these sessions is to help recognize, develop, and direct energy as it moves through our physical body. Through coaching and structured exercises, participants practice more detailed forms of embodied attention. Ultimately, this work deepens our awareness of the may levels of unconscious and conscious motility, allowing us to access a vastly expanded field of communication with partners, collaborators, and audience.

This work can be tailored for professional dancers, or any level of experience. It can be offered in individual, group, workshop, or choreographic project-based formats. Please contact me for rates and schedule
