She has been a part of the Canadian dance community for 25 years, studying nationally/internationally in contemporary and postmodern dance, improvisation/contact improvisation, and somatic practices.

Sally works within an ecosomatic framework and on/in/with the borderlands between body and place, performance and ecology, improvisation and the everyday. Her work is rooted in place studies, relational embodied ethics, slow pedagogies, and site responsive practices. She uses the body-as-manual and questions the how and why of our everyday movements, in and with the more-than-human environment, as embodied acts of performance.

She sits on the Board of Directors of Wonder’neath Arts Society and is a volunteer at Veith House. Sally is a certified Yoga and Pilates instructor
(Eastward Moving Dance + Somatics) and works creatively under the umbrella of SLOW DANCE LAB and with artist collective the sense archive.
