Sarah Lorraine Ferris - Artist

I am a dance artist, teacher and producer. It is movement, creative expression and connectivity that bring me joy in many areas of my life.

I am passionate about sharing these with others, from facilitating dance classes to supporting artists to develop and share new work and bringing together creatives in a shared space to explore movement. In all areas of my work, I am keen to create environments that feel safe, nurturing and where everyone can be themselves.
