WORKSHOPS
From teens to adults, my workshops are designed to to help participants build inner-trust in their ability to find joy in play and performance.
As a qualified secondary teacher and experienced performer, I bring a specialised blend of practical expertise and thoughtful pedagogy to the classroom. I am able to tailor each workshop to meet the specific needs of your group or, alternatively, you can choose from a selection of tried and tested workshops.
All my workshops are adaptable in the moment to access needs and I have a special interest in making sure my spaces are safe both physically and psychologically for whatever may arise. Scroll on for information on workshop options and testimonials.
So, get ready to laugh, learn, and discover the creative potential that makes you YOU!

Testimonials
"Gab is an incredibly capable, knowledgeable and passionate teacher and artist. Her workshops are supportive and delightful, and I can't wait to work with her again soon."

"Gab's teaching style is enthusiastic and passionate. It's really exciting to see the opportunity for improvisation and other theatrical arts forms to cross pollinate, for improvisors to explore new skills and ideas to their training and performance."
- Workshop participant
"I was terrified of movement theatre and had no idea what to expect. Creating Through Movement broke down some gorgeous steps that allow anyone to get started in their movement journey and took the fear and trepidation out of the whole process. Do your body and mind a favour and take this course!"
