Moving with the land

Learn to move with the land where you live and let it guide your practice.

During a six-month online mentorship, you will explore, attune to, and document your environment, developing a movement practice that honours the land.

Movement lab

Develop your own creative project, question or inquiry through movement.

Whatever your background, this 10 week course supports you in trusting your intuition and creative impulses by learning to listen to your body.

It's summer in Hackney Marshes. The grass is yellow and dry. Claire is curling up onto herself like a shell or a snail, her hands behind her back. She seems deep relaxed and embedded in the place. She has become fully part of the landscape.
Outdoor movement

Explore moving with the landscape as your partner rather than using it as a backdrop.

Open to all levels and bodies, this practice develops movement that becomes part of the landscape.

Moving with the seasons

Embark on a year cycle of moving outdoors through the seasonal and weather changes of Hackney Marshes in East London.

Open to all levels and bodies, this practice is about connecting us to the land and learning from it in direct dialogue with it.

Move in common

Explore moving as a form of shared presence—with others, with land, with the more-than-human world.

Open to all levels and bodies, this day-long practice invites movement as dialogue, reciprocity and co-existence on common land.

Relating through movement

Explore the subtle art of connection—how to meet others without losing yourself, how to stay in touch without reaching beyond what’s given.

This one-day indoor workshop invites deep listening through movement, tuning into boundaries, needs, and the space between.

Claire is making a star shape with her right leg standing on the ground and the left at a perpendicular position off the ground. Her mouth is wide open and one of her harm carries dried cow parsley all other. She's standing in the middle of Hackney Marshes at the end of the summer when the grass has turned yellow and dry.
Movement exploration

This indoors class explores intuitive, playful movement in dialogue with the environment.

Open to all levels, the session fosters curiosity, awareness, and a deeper connection with yourself and your surroundings.

Claire has her eyes closed and is entangled with wild carrots. She's hugging them slightly with a deep sense of peacefulness and connection with them and Hackney Marshes.
Feral workshop

Reconnect with primal, instinctive ways of being and learn from the more-than-human.

Supported by practices of my book How to be feral, you’re taken on a journey to re-wild your body.

Amerta movement

My movement practice and teaching is based in the tradition of Amerta movement.

Amerta movement was 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. 

When 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. Instead it encouraged me to develop my own form in awareness that its expression is in dialogue with the environment.

Hackney Marshes

As soon as I was introduced to Amerta movement, I very quickly developed my own movement art practice in Hackney Marshes in London.

In 2018 I met Dominique Rivoal a filmmaker who started filming me move there in September of that year. Without planning it this became a long-term project as we continued filming in the marshes for more than 6 years until the end of 2024.

Out of our collaboration, we created a 4 screens installation with 3D soundscape called ‘We are plants, we are grass, we are Hackney Marshes.’ 

As a result of my regular practice in Hackney Marshes for many years I also produced a book called How to be feral: movement practices to re-wild your body. And I offer workshops which are specifically based on the practices I developed in the book.
