“I am a dance artist who has been working with Donna since 2007. I have found ease within my movements, as well as a sense of three-dimensionality, and I have felt new sensations in my body."

“I can tell that this was a fantastic introduction because I want to know more and do more.

 

As a trauma therapist I greatly value the Bartenieff Fundamentals and the resulting somatic-based knowledge which provides a deeper understanding of the ‘highways of sensation’ and value of somatic repatterning.”

“Through studying Laban’s concepts with Donna Redlick, I have gained a deeper understanding in how the way we move is related to how we perceive and knowing this gives me the ability to increase my movement possibilities.

Thank-you Donna for your wonderful teaching and expert knowledge on how the body moves. "

"Studying with Donna deeply changed my understanding of my body and my teaching. The one-a-one structure of this teaching/mentorship program allowed for personal growth in a very unique way:

 

I felt heard, supported, encouraged, and that I could ask what I really needed to support my learning, as a dance artist and a dance educator. My movement and my teachings are never going to be the same and I am excited to see what comes next!"

When we move together from a deep intuitive knowing we find a sense of belonging to something far greater than ourselves.

Donna skillfully combines her knowledge of movement drives and pathways with a solid understanding of creative structure, from conception to realization. She is generous and playful in her approach, and genuinely cares for people, effortlessly finding the intersection of each person’s interest, ability and curiosity through the common ground of movement.

 

As a creator, she is decisive and quick, and her language clear and articulate.
