Gianna can be booked for master classes, workshops, residencies, commissions and guest artist work for all levels of dancers.

She aims to create artistic understanding through sensory experiences, articulation & vocabulary (verbally and physically), awareness, pleasure, joy, sadness, happiness, connection, touch, listening and partnering. 

In class we will research our ability to listen and a whole body experience, moving through an internal to external kinesthetic landscape. Here, we explore pushing our boundaries, collaboration, partnering and listening as a way to exist in dance performance and creation. These tools deepen ones understanding of themselves in relation to others through the medium of dance.
