Scarlett teaches dance and movement in a wide range of contexts, drawing on the various methods and disciplines she has practised over the years: ballet, modern jazz and contemporary dance, somatics, Laban and movement for actors, butoh, yoga, improvisation.

​Classes and workshops are available for professional dance, theatre and opera companies, vocational secondary and higher education courses, adult and youth community groups.

The sessions can focus on:

• warm-up and preparing the body for experimentation, creation or performance
• learning improvisation skills
• devising: developing a movement vocabulary and improvisational movement score or set choreography
• mentoring on existing work and facilitating further research and development, or preparation for auditions

Workshops and residencies allow for longer and more intensive time together, and can focus on:

• learning and performing repertoire material
• creative experimentation and devising new work
• exploring improvisation tools 
• embodied practice and movement for non-dancers
• yoga for self-care and performance

Throughout her teaching, Scarlett promotes clarity and discipline alongside a playful and experimental attitude. She aims to encourage authenticity and bravery, deeper awareness and individuality of expression. 

 

In 2019, Scarlett set up the Forum on Embodied Practice, an opportunity for peer exchange, research and growth in the field of embodied practice, welcoming a range of practitioners and artists to participate and lead sessions in turn. The Forum collaborated with SIB Dance Lab in Norway and received support from the Lisa Ullman Travel Scholarship Fund. Read more about the Forum here.

Scarlett is regularly commissioned by Royal Central School of Speech and Drama since 2014 to teach embodied practice and movement as research to scenographers on the MA programme, as well as present choreographies for design students to work on, accompanying them through production meetings-tutorials to learn about process and collaboration.

She taught contemporary dance technique classes for 10 years at The Place, Danceworks, Pineapple, Urdang Academy, Movingartsbase, and Margaret Howard Theatre College. 

Scarlett taught regular yoga classes at studios across London for over 10 years, and at The Place, London Contemporary Dance School. She teaches mostly privately, nowadays: more information here.
