Welcome to BodySpeak™

Using the art of movement as medium and metaphor, BodySpeak™ is an interactive and highly intensive program of training designed to integrate mind, body, and spirit. It is the culmination of my forty years' experience as a theatrical performer, author, and teacher.

Since only approximately 10% of communication is verbal, with 90% through movement and body language, BodySpeak™ teaches a powerful method of communication and self-understanding.

BodySpeak™ is, in its essence, a journey from thought to action. Along the way, we learn to focus the mind, discipline the body, and activate powerful creative energies. We discover new and subtle ways to communicate with one another. We also have a lot of fun.
