"My experience of the Master Performing Public Space course has been nothing short of transformative. I entered the course with a desire to crack open my ways of thinking, making, doing, and being. The course offered this and much more. This intense one-year program served as an invaluable platform for the development of my artistic practice, expansion and fine-tuning of my skill sets, and acceleration of my knowledge, not just as a dance artist, academic, and artistic researcher, but also as a human being.”
