I'm Michelle Black,
a theatre movement educator exploring the intersection of art, anatomy and awareness. I guide performers in discovering the intelligence of their own movement, cultivating physical storytelling that is grounded, expressive, and deeply human.

Welcome to my online portfolio. Here, you’ll find an overview of my work as a teacher, performer, and creative researcher — including examples of curriculum design, workshop models, production photos, and embodied learning projects. This space reflects my philosophy that movement is both a discipline and a discovery — and I invite you to explore how the body becomes a site of imagination, transformation, and truth.

Teaching / Pedagogy

I create a safe, holistic classroom blending movement, performance, and reflection, empowering students to grow as confident thinkers, creators, and expressive human beings.

Research/Writing

I explore movement's role in theatre, education, and mental health: studying techniques from Feldenkrais to Laban while creating resources for dance and theatre educators.

Creative Work

I direct movement for theatre productions, choreograph musicals and dance pieces, and build costumes and props behind the scenes.

Workshops

I offer workshops on theatre movement, acting techniques like Meisner and Stanislavski, and cultural history, blending practical exercises with performance theory.
