I have been exploring Awareness Through Movement principles in my own creative practice since 2020, and last year entered a deep dive into the first year of the Feldenkrais Practitioner Training. Currently, my focus is on how Madelyn Kent has blended her Feldenkrais expertise with her pedagogical background in creative writing to create Sense Writing, which uses Feldenkrais principles interwoven with the doing of writing that meets the body exactly where it is at on any given day.

I admire Madelyn Kent for the organic, holistic and sustainable ways in which Sense Writing works from the ground up in a slow, nourishing accretion of eco-systemic connection-making in any given writing project — accessing sustainability and surprise via somatic intelligence, no matter where one begins. My two newest books, a short story collection, Hair on Fire, and a poetry collection, Lunette, have grown organically out of my application of Madelyn Kent’s principles of practising Sense Writing as an ongoing and unfolding technology of thinking-making-turning-up-and-doing-over-time.
