Creative learning
Our connection to the world begins with how we sense, relate, and make meaning – starting at a young age. Through long-term partnerships with schools and communities, we explore how the arts can shape identity, support emotional development, and foster creativity. These projects deepen understanding and growth for children, educators, families, and artists alike, embedding a culture of lifelong learning and artistic exploration.
“Learning is a natural part of life. Gaining knowledge through experience, applying it, forgetting, making mistakes, or sometimes getting it wrong to get it right – it’s all part of creativity. It’s how we make sense of who we are, and staying open to new adventures and working outside of our comfort zones.
I have a natural curiosity and thirst for knowledge that drives me as an artist. I’m interested in the dynamics of different learning styles: the one-to-one approach of learning Kathak compared to group or class learning.
It’s about embedding knowledge, adapting and instinctively finding balance with the intelligences of the mind and body.
What does it mean to be human? How can we understand our body creatively?”
