Work Background
The Harbour School Hong KongMovement & Wellness Teacher
Aug. 2023Hong Kong SARAt THS I am working to grow the Movement & Wellness program, collaborating with fellow physical education colleagues to develop learner-driven dance, movement, and wellness curriculum for our dynamic and diverse range of learners. Currently, at the high school level I teach 'The Power Within', a project-based comprehensive sexuality education course based on the UNESCO International Technical Guidelines, as well as 'Movement and Mindfulness', an experiential movement studies class where learners develop emotional, cognitive, social, and physical well-being through a range of movement modalities including qi gong, yoga, somatics, and functional fitness.
Center for Artists in the MakingCo-founder
Jun. 2021Hong Kong, Hong Kong SARBefore moving on to teach full-time at The Harbour School, I designed and delivered education programming through Center for Artists in the Making, a skill-based, learner-centered, interdisciplinary art-making education initiative. We developed a curriculum-integrated and after-school video-making course with Dalton School Hong Kong, a term-long performance making project with Canadian International School of Hong Kong, and an after-school theatre programme at Hong Kong Academy. We also offered pop-up intensives for young artists 7-20 years old, wherein participants co-created and exhibited multi-media sound and video works over the course of the week, and for which we collaborated with Grassroots Future, an NGO focused on building capacity in the refugee and asylum seeker community in Hong Kong.
