Who Am I?
I am an artist, singer, composer, and facilitator based between London and Lisbon. I run my own business Curiosa, which organises workshops, retreats and residencies, and I teach The Embodied Voice, a practice combining voice, movement, improvisation and mindfulness. My work crosses the creative, education, and wellness industries. I need someone to support me to build my business and to reach people who would benefit from having more creativity, embodiment, and community in their lives.
I am driven by the belief that discovering, experiencing, and expressing our creativity in collaboration is an essential part of what it means to be a human being, and is the basis for how we organize ourselves in society. Singing, moving, dancing, and creating together, we can imagine and enact new ways of being together in the world, that are better for us mentally and physically, on an individual and a planet-wide basis. My creative practice is at the core of all that I do, and my ways of working as an entrepreneur, a teacher, and an artist are all built on values of play, positive regard, respect, and authentic communication.
