Originally a professional ballet dancer, Kathryn was born in Melbourne, Australia in 1968 and came to Europe as such in 1987. She worked with Ismael Ivo in Vienna and spent some years with Tanz Theater Hamburg, but after the experience she had in her first Feldenkrais Workshop - which she shares with us in this podcast interview - she immediately knew that she had found her true calling.

From 1995-1999 she participated in her first Feldenkrais Training, Ubbergen 6, taught by Mia Segal. She has been a passionate and dedicated Feldenkrais teacher ever since and works extensively in her own practice in Hamburg, as well as internationally as an Assistant within Feldenkrais Professional Training Programs.

Kathryn is also active in the German guild and believes service to the community to be an essential part of professional practice. With over 20 years of experience, Kathryn is committed to contributing to and supporting processes of reflection and development for students, teachers, graduates and Trainings in an international, modern day context.

But most of all, she is passionate about learning and movement, and fascinated by the way this wonderful method can be used as a means for growth and personal development. Kathryn hopes to inspire with her authenticity and enthusiasm.

Reimond ::: Begeisterter Feldenkrais Lehrer mit 74 Jahren by Christina Petersen

Christina Clar studied sculpture and works in the fields of performance, events, installations and urban interventions. She buids spaces with sound and images, using architecture, physical interventions, poetry, and media to blur the boundaries between projected and so-called real images. Collaboration is an essential part of her work: she has worked with artists, performers, composers, musicians, and architects in the fields of stage design, music, performance, and audio/video at Europe's major opera houses as well as alternative venues, wastelands, and the countryside.
The confrontation with her own illness as well as caring for her mother suffering from cancer developed her understanding of body and mind as a path of learning. Further trainings include Contact Improvisation, Axis Syllabus, Alexander Technique, the Gindberg Method and systemic constellations. Parallel to her artistic work she develops music and movement workshops with young people and persons with disabilities in Europe and Australia and follows the training to become a Feldenkrais practicioner.
