Educational & University Immersions

Educational & University Immersions are customized residencies for higher-education programs ready to connect studio and stage work with the realities of professional practice. I collaborate with department chairs, faculty, and program leaders to design experiences that deepen technique, expand creative thinking, and situate movement within cultural and industry contexts.

Each immersion is built around your curriculum and students' level of training. Together, we determine whether the focus should be performance, choreography, devised work, or interdisciplinary exploration. From there, I structure an arc that can include technique classes, repertory sessions, composition labs, and process-based seminars on topics such as physical storytelling, Afro-diasporic movement lineages, or the rehearsal room dynamics of film and theatre.

Through the Residency for Arts Education, I bring interactive workshops and masterclasses directly into your classrooms and studios. Students experience professional-level expectations in a supportive environment: clear counts and staging, precise feedback, and an emphasis on collaboration and accountability. Faculty gain a partner who understands academic timelines and learning outcomes while bringing current industry practices from sets, stages, and rehearsal rooms.

Immersions can culminate in sharings, showings, or fully produced works that highlight student growth and provide tangible outcomes for your institution-whether for prospective students, donors, or accreditation reviews. I work with you to frame these outcomes in language that speaks to artistic rigor, equity and inclusion, and career preparedness.

By the end of an Educational & University Immersion, students have not only expanded their technical and creative range, but also gained insight into how professional artists think, work, and collaborate. Your program, in turn, strengthens its profile as a place where contemporary practice, cultural awareness, and academic inquiry meet.
