I regularly teach indoors and outdoors movement classes and workshops in the tradition of Amerta movement founded by Suprapto Suryodarmo, an Indonesian movement artist who I had the pleasure to work with a few years before his death. I discovered the practice with Sandra Reeve, who has studied with Suprapto for over 30 years and who is an amazing teacher in her own respect. 

As soon as I was introduced with Amerta movement, it spoke to me immediately as it truly acknowledges that we are in dialogue with everything that surrounds us, not separate from it. What I also really liked about it is that it didn’t ask me to follow a particular form but encouraged me to develop my own in awareness of its expression in dialogue with the environment. I very quickly developed my own practice in Hackney Marshes in London which turned into a long-term art project in 2018 when I met Dominique Rivoal a filmmaker I started collaborating with. Out of our collaboration, we created a 4 screens installation with 3D soundscape called ‘We are plants, we are grass, we are Hackney Marshes‘ and as a result of my regular practice in Hackney Marshes for many years I produced a book called How to be feral: movement practices to re-wild your body. I also offer How to be feral workshops which are specifically based on the practices I developed in the book.

With the intention of making the work more accessible to a wider range of people, I’m now offering sensory mindful walks which are based on my deep knowledge of the body and the environment and how to be more connected to it. 

Lastly, I also offer plant connection workshops in which we explore as a group how to connect to a specific plant or fungi. These workshops combine the knowledge and experience I acquired by studying at the School of Intuitive Herbalism where I graduated from in 2023 and my deep knowledge of the body and how to connect to nature through my movement art practice.  The two practices share a lot in common and blend beautifully together.
