I created The Duende Way because group theatre classes overwhelmed me…

I needed a different way in to access play.

So I built one!

A bravery-building practice which involves taking small risks and building courage like a muscle.

Over years of movement and somatic practice, I learned that micro courageous steps, taken with the wisdom of the body, can unlock new forms of self-expression.

As children, we play organically.

As adults, the seriousness of productivity and discipline can go out of balance.

We forget to be intentional about play: about connection, joy, aliveness.
