“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!"
