Join for 2, 3 or 4 consecutive weeks.
Progressive discounts for multiple weeks.
Additional $100 early registration discount before May 15.
Those with comprehensive experience of Introductory level OSF or SRT may

drop in and/or join for Week 4, Advanced Practice Week.

All are welcome — whether new to the practice or experienced. We’ll navigate Introductory level work, with a fourth week of Advanced Practice. And lots of juicy improvisational processes, refined by Skura over three decades of teaching & choreographic practice, and refreshed continually with new ideas & experiments.

OSF celebrates diversity & individual empowerment: free of inhibition, accessing intuition, inviting the mind to collaborate. Sessions offer powerful strategies to catalyze freedom, specificity & courage in movement, vocal practice & creative practice.
A key aspect is individual creative empowerment as an instigator of positive change on the planet.

Our open workshops, which formerly funded necessarily small teacher-training groups, have yet to return to pre-pandemic levels. Your support will continue a scholarship fund for new teacher trainees coming from afar to help with travel & housing, and learn to create seemingly magical environments in which deep transformation is possible.

Rigorous & soul-expanding, OSF Teacher Training gives solid grounding in methods & deep understanding of the practice, empowering teachers who then empower their students to become compassionate, wise guides toward wholeness in ourselves & in our communities. A key aspect is individual creative empowerment as an instigator of positive change on the planet. THANK YOU for any amount of support possible!

"Stephanie is one of the most memorable dance educators I"ve studied with. She allows you to unfold in ways that are innate, yet unknown to you." Laura Reichardt, choregorapher
