teaching

I have done enough to know a bit and approach teaching as a chance to share experience. I try to hold the attitude of a fellow learner as opposed to an “expert”. In the words of the great Keith Johnston “a teacher should always reveal themselves to their students, especially if they don’t know something” 

I absolutely love being a facilitator, I find it energising, inspiring, insightful, terrifying and humbling all at once. I have had wonderful moments with students of all abilities, backgrounds and ages. I find every person brings something unique to the class and my job is to help them to get of their own way to release it. I have been to institutions where teachers have been disparaging about their students telling me I wont get much out of this LOT but with connection, play and focused leadership together we’ve had brilliant moments (and some not so brilliant, but thats life right)

I have taught in MANY situations; masked theatre at the Woodfordia Festival to attendees for a giant masked NYE happening, circus to kids in a dry creek bed on an aboriginal community in Central Australia , been resident artist for two years at an independent primary school, run clown classes for adults in a car park in Ireland, staff teacher at a circus school, assistant teacher for a master dance trainer, produced and facilitated the Perth Clown Jam over period of 10 years, ran numerous, numerous community arts workshops and performance development projects across the country AND I would be honoured to be part of your class, workshop, jam, one on one, whatever! 

SO HIT ME UP & LETS MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN!!
