I’m Lauren.

As a movement artist, improviser, and contemplative embodiment teacher, I hold my creative practice, teaching, and art-making as radical acts of inquiry and play. Through them, I aim to ignite, awaken, and transmute our unique aliveness into ever-deepening presence, interconnectedness, and generative community.

I create work and engage practice containers that fertilize the intersections between our fluid identities, paradoxical investigations, and exquisitely heart-breaking contemplation of life and death. My intention is to play powerfully inside of paradox and living koans, cultivating immersive experiences of deep listening, full feeling, and rigorous expression of our mysterious and vivid reality.

I absolutely love the art of performance. There is nothing like the powerful alchemy of a moment of creative emergence being witnessed. The charged relationship of performer and audience, co-mingling in the savored manifestation of shared desire, intention and expression. Oh the feeling of a space lit up with possibility, enlivened by the craft of cultivated offering and spontaneous presence. Where the expansiveness of our imaginations meets flesh and bone and gravity. Where aliveness abounds and beckons us all to let go and be transformed into fuller dimensions of who we are.

Kind words from amazing people.

Lauren's class, Flux, has been a staple ingredient to the quality of not only my movement, but my life! Her class is magical - welcoming, accepting, freeing, and totally empowering - allowed to be where and what you are in that moment. I find that I am able to both move inward and outward at the same time, to let go of what is outside of that studio room and truly BE. I also find it very therapeutic to all aspects of life with the invitation to make connections between the paradigms in life and how they are depicted in movement. I feel empowered as well as a part of something bigger.

Lauren is a kinesthetic, somato-relational genius, weaving and coaxing life-force deep into body through her sweet and sure guidance, beckoning your body and being into more vitality, wakeful ease and strength. I trust Lauren’s attunement, kindness and deep, creative wisdom.

FLUX is one of my favorite classes! Lauren taps into something bigger than each of us and teaches us how to ride that wave with rigor and grace. The class, and all the movement within, emerges from her honestly and carefully. She holds each student with compassion and yet isn't overly precious about anything. She allows. She listens. Most importantly, she invites each of us into this deep listening with her and one another.

Friday mornings can be tough with a week's worth of tiredness and sore muscles. I always feel like I may never move again. Yet through a vigorous warmup and generative improv scores, Lauren re-awakens the capacity of my body and I fall in love with dance, over, and over again.

— Kate
Lauren's Flux class is one of the best parts of my week. I love how her approach to movement centers on community, self-understanding, and play. Her unique choreography challenges my mind and body and is so much fun. She creates a welcoming space where I always feel valued, and I continue to grow as a dancer and human being every time I join.
