VISIONARY INSTITUTE
Teaching and Workshops: sharing ART& LAND Practice
In my teaching, various workshops/ creative wellbeing facilitation or any other performative wonder embodied offerings, I utilize artistic, theoretical and experiential proficiencies gained from the long term sustained art practice and research. I teach across a range of pedagogical settings—both formal and informal.
I have considerable expertise encompassing the comprehensive spectrum of artistic skills and abilities requisite for roles such as lecturer, tutor, facilitator, and workshop leader. My instructional repertoire spans diverse domains, from drawing and sculpting with clay to engaging in cooking, gardening, food preservation, fermentation, microgreens growing, or seeds- saving -sharing, or experimental embodied practices and organizing immersive experiences such as foraging walks, storytelling and multispecies encounters, meals, feasts and meditations.
I developed an innovative undergraduate strand (program of workshops) titled "Multispecies Thinking and Making," designed to immerse students in varied performative and socioecological practices, fostering engagement with multifaceted concepts and interconnected Multispecies Worlds. My teachings and workshops employ and engage methodology centered on World building through technologies of Land Practice with its forms for thinking and making. These experimental and experiential pedagogical techniques employ an open, improvisational framework influenced by radical art pedagogies and anarchic avant-gardes such as Beuys’ concept of Warmth Work and Social Sculpture, or Lygia Clark’s somatic propositions and Collective Body, various somatic practices,, forest schooling and deep listening.
