HOW, WHO, WHERE
HOW I WORK
I am a shapeshifter and a boundary crosser, fascinated by how structure emerges from chaos through multi-level alignment — body, mind, and system; I, You, and We.
I bring research to life by linking embodied awareness to systems-level insight and translating ideas about movement, story, and perception into practices that people can feel, test, and apply.
For me, creativity is the art of navigating entropy, or moving from chaos to coherence, dissolution to renewal. My goal is to achieve a kind of Harmonic intelligence that senses when a system is devolving, and then guides that system towards a new pattern.
I situate my work at the threshold between order and disorder, between the known and the emergent. It is a living inquiry into how systems, like people, achieve stability and coherence through movement.
WHO I AM
I am a mover, thinker, and creator with a lifelong curiosity about how humans make meaning. My interdisciplinary work bridges creative practice, meta and embodied cognition, as well as social, applied and cognitive psychology. I explore how embodiment, narrative, and emotion shape social systems and the self.
Over the past 30 years, I have choreographed for award-winning films, designed and led university courses, community workshops and somatic classes, and guided individuals and teams toward more creative, adaptive, and coherent ways of working, relating and creating.
I lead with curiosity, humour, and clarity — qualities that foster trust, spark insight, and keep collaborations grounded and human. Whether directing a film, shaping a curriculum, mentoring or facilitating, I view each project as a dialogue between structure and possibility. I am collaborative and systems-minded: I build experiential, low-stake environments where people feel free to experiment, to challenge themselves and others, and to refine and strengthen their ideas.
My life has been full of twists and turns, playfulness and laughter, as well as a few dark nights of the soul. And through it all, I have continued moving — rolling, falling, stomping, and jumping: on film sets and stages, across studio floors, down mountains, and through my imagination.
WHERE I WORK
Across cultures, contexts, and creative ecosystems.
I’m a dual national who has always lived in the liminal space in-between — geographically, culturally, and professionally. My life and work have unfolded across continents, disciplines, and scales: from large research universities to small liberal arts colleges; from international publicly traded companies to grassroots community organizations; from major film studios in large cities to small town theaters.
This movement between worlds has shaped how I see and how I work. I’ve learned to listen, to translate, and to adapt, and to find common language across difference. Whether collaborating in corporate boardrooms, rehearsal studios, or community halls, I bring a sensitivity to context and a deep respect for the knowledge that emerges from each place.
Living liminally has made me responsive, relational, and culturally intelligent. It’s taught me that creativity thrives in the margins and the spaces in-between. Where perspectives and ideas overlap and something new begins to emerge.
