LEARN // PLAY

As an artist and educator, I facillitate spaces for creative practice, skill sharing, and redistributing intellectual resources.

Creating spaces in dialogue with our environment includes inhabiting our own bodies and creating space for play and healthy risk. By developing self-sovereignty and interdependence in our creative practices, we move away from scarcity-based, capitalist, white supremacist, and ableist models that block our creative pleasure and, therefore, creative potential.

I am the founder of Vocational Poetics, a virtual teaching and learning platform with offerings from teaching artists and radical educators. I take pleasure in co-creating sustainable, equitable, and accessible learning spaces.

I view the work of creative facilitation as a collaborative partnership. Through collaboration we create shared resources for our communities.

Workshops and playshops are guided by an ethos of learning-by-doing. Recent offerings include:

NECTAR
  • Native Plants, Pollinators, and Collective Pleasure with Cass Eddington (5/24)

  • Collective Pleasure at the Denver Botanic Gardens with Cass Eddington and George Delaney (6/13)

With a background in higher education (PhD in English and Literary Arts, University of Denver; MFA in Poetry, Colorado State University) and fifteen years of experience teaching in both academic and community-based settings, I’m committed to community-based education.
