Amelia teaches a variety of classes including Modern, Contemporary and Storytelling Through Movement.
“My mission is to create and participate in honest, intimate work which exposes my true character and the lens through which I view the nature of our world. I am interested in capturing the personalities and unique qualities of the people I work with while creating environments together in which the public experiences empathy and is encouraged to engage in a topic at a deeper level. I integrate my work as a holistic health practitioner into my dance work and vice versa. In my own creative process I use imagery, memory and other forms like poetry, music and visual art to generate movement. I explore physical extremes by combining technique with diverse ways of telling stories through and with the body. I use a mixture of set choreography and improvisation as a vehicle which contributes individuality and depth to the expressive power of dance.”
‘Project Warrior’ is coming back!!!
