ARTFUL EXPRESSION
Embodying the creative
3 WEEK ONLINE SERIES FOR AERIALISTS
October 2nd, 9th, & 16th
What is Artful Expression?
Artful Expression is a 3 week online series to help you uncover and expand your creative expression, bringing you greater embodiment and satisfaction in your creative work. Some of topics we will cover during this time together include:
- How to reconnect with your body and the importance this plays in your creative expression
- "What do to with my face?!" - Facial expression work. This one is big for so many aerialist, struggling to make their facial expressions match the story they wish to convey in the their movement
- Understanding how our nervous systems work, & how it effects our aerial work
- Body image and self worth. Looking at our inner dialogue, beliefs and how this plays a role in the art we create (or don't create)
- Embodying and channeling emotions into creative expression
Bring deeper meaning to your movement
Artful Expression will guide you through how to use mindfulness, breath, visualisation, and movement to uncover what you hold in your body, and how to bring this rawness and power into your art.

Freedom & release
I used to keep so much bottled up, I used to stay quiet and shy. My body held more and more until it felt like I would burst with the amount of unexpressed feelings, stories, and experiences that I had stuffed down into it.
I worked hard at cultivating my artistry from the outside, layering on different techniques and modalities that I'd learned. Sure they helped some, but the depth was missing, and most of all the connection to my work felt far from satisfactory.
It wasn't until I tapped into my true unexpressed self that I started to find my authentic voice in my creative work. My body changed, my movement changed and things I'd spent years trying to fix or shift with different techniques literally melted away. A cathartic release and reconnection to self.
This is a deep process of reunion to the parts of yourself that are forgotten, hidden, suppressed, denied and neglected. Often we don't even realise this has happened until we begin to rebuild and reconnect.
All workshops will be recorded and also available to watch on replay
Access to the Artful Expression course will be available for 1 year
