Kerwin Barrington is a dance artist passionate about exploring new and subtle ways of understanding the body in motion. She has been facilitating dance experiences in various contexts for over 20 years, offering learning environments that explore the potential of being oneself. She offers weekly dance classes open to all, intensive workshops for professionals, and creative processes leading to stage, outdoor, and in situ works. She is also involved in cultural mediation in schools, senior residences, and other community initiatives.
Certified to teach the Axis Syllabus (AS), she has been associated with its research network (ASRM) for 12 years. The AS archives, as well as the pedagogical philosophy practiced by many members of its global community, have profoundly influenced her life, research, and practice by placing learning at the center of experience and experience at the center of learning.
Over the years, she has traveled internationally to teach and share her research, notably in Sweden, Switzerland, France, Italy, the United States, and Benin, West Africa. She collaborates regularly with Nuria Bowart, Claire Turner Reid, Mathi LP, Noam Guerrier Freud, Christian Brun del Ra, RAFA, and Sarah Dell'Ava. Today, she is driven by a curiosity to understand how tradition, ancestry, territory, and music live on in her dance and in the dance she shares with others.
