COACHING
Sarah tailors sessions to the immediate needs, and also to the long term development, of the artist. Her ability lies in drawing out of the individual their innate power of making the invisible visible
Sarah has developed her movement practice over a career spanning 30 years performing, observing, experimenting and working with artists, opera singers, actors and dancers, creating an approach to movement, movement direction and physical dramaturgy that is influenced by the work of Grotowski, Laban, Le Coq, Pina Bausch.

She's exposed me to a whole new approach to dramatic performance and is of paramount importance to my character development both in and out of the studio. Her enthusiasm and commitment is the perfect nest for new ideas and openness of spirit to grow.”
