We are in this together - Storytelling with non-human protagonists

MA Inszenierung der Künste und der Medien, University of Hildesheim / Festival Theaterformen Hannover, Germany (2021)

Combining reading materials, critical analysis and practical exercises, the seminar aimed to create different physical and metaphorical locations for knowledge production. Devised and led in collaboration with För Künkel.

MA Dance Performance: Contemporary Dance, University of Limerick, Ireland (2012)

A block seminar consisting of several practical exercises focused on sonic, scenic, movement and visual based tasks intended to open new possibilities for creating work where specific places are integrated as driving components of the devising process, whilst also considering the context-specific characteristics and intuitive associations that arise when working with non-theatrical spaces and everyday public locations.
