Elaine Thomas' teaching practice spans higher and further education, schools, youth centres, and community-based groups. A socially engaged and person-centred approach is at the heart of her facilitation which is rooted in inclusive practice. 

​

Elaine offers movement-based workshops and coaching for actors and dancers, that promote body awareness and physical literacy. Drawing on a range of embodied practices from contemporary dance, Somatics, movement games and play, each workshop is tailored to meet the individual or group's needs. The sessions build confidence in body expression, increase a sense of the internal landscape and relationship to external space, and extend skills in finding and moving from sensation. 

 

 Workshops can include:

​​

Anatomical awareness

Use of Breath

Improvisation through imagery

Development of character through movement

Spatial orientation

Ensemble & chorus work
