“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. "

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.
