“Nita’s teaching and presence have informed my embodiment – the way I move, the way I direct my attention, and the moment-to-moment choicemaking about how and who I am in the world. Her teaching is generous, sharp, honest, and…magical.”

“I need places like this to dig deeper into ideas that then live in my body from then on – less of a mental carryover into my practices, but more of a habit of being that carries over. That’s what I love about this class in particular is that I feel like I am cultivating these deeper habits of existing that then I can’t help but bring into my creation.”

“I was blessed to take Relational Intelligence online for nearly 2 years during the pandemic. I have not been able to take class for several months, but the work of those years had such a strong impact on me that I find myself bringing more attention to my physical relations outside of the context of class. I also notice that I find myself connecting to many of the principles I learned from Nita (earth rising, small falls, forward facing edge etc) more and more, and they show up both in my consciousness and my dancing in beautiful ways! The impact of this practice on my embodiment and relational sensitivity has been remarkable. Thank you Nita for creating a practical and enjoyable pedagogy of somatic communication.”

“I spent the last year putting together an autobiographical one person play with music and dance that I've performed 4 times so far, to great acclaim! It is by far the most satisfying piece of art Ive been a part of. Headed to the Edinburgh Fringe Theater Festival next summer.

And doing [Nita’s] course was a great doorway into my own creative practice.”

There are certain experiences in my life that have defined a before and after, or a pivot point. I recently took Nita's Relational Intelligence workshop and have started to realize that in only three days she altered my trajectory. I learned tools for diving into deep connection with others and tapping into the wisdom of my own mindbody. Nita's teachings will continue to shape who I am as a friend, partner, and community member.

“I received more from Nita during Composing Emergence than I did in a two years Master's program in Choreography.

Forever grateful!”

“Nita’s work invited me to recognize the collective field of consciousness that exists continually and simultaneously alongside (as) the field of individuality. I noticed with our attention often focused on the individual experience we may be unaware of the collective experience we generate in any moment. I experienced during the exercise ‘Follow the one you Lead’ that by putting our attention outside of ourselves (moving when someone else moves or stops) while being responsible for ourselves(being in charge of our movement) I saw we all were in continuous movement or stopping, who was doing what at any moment was a symptom of our collective attention rather than a defined statement of our individuality. In this moment of communion with the group- I felt a profound sense of always belonging. “
