Workshops​​

Embodied workshops in voice, movement and creative expression for artists, organisations and communities.

Lewis is available for professional workshops, masterclasses and bespoke creative residencies and direction for theatre companies, arts organisations, universities and community groups. She designs experiences that combine body, voice, music and embodied expression, supporting participants to connect deeply with their creativity, presence and collaboration.

 

She has been facilitating workshops since 2012 and has worked with organisations including the The British Council (Worldwide), University College Cork (Ireland), Aquila Theatre (New York), Arts for Health (Ireland), The Embodied Artists (UK), the British Ballet Organisation (UK), Dartington International Summer School, Youth Music Theatre UK and Theatre Workshop (Brighton), as well as through her own long-running workshop series The Embodied Archetypes.

Her work supports participants to develop a deeper connection to their body, breath, intuition and authentic expression. Her workshops are playful, challenging and educational, but can also be deeply liberating. Perhaps as a legacy of her work as a medical doctor, Lewis approaches facilitation with an understanding that creative expression can also be part of a wider process of personal growth, integration and healing.
