Sarah graduated from L’ Ecole de Danse Contemporaine de Montréal (ECDM) in 2003 and moved home to Halifax to co-found Mocean Dance. Through her work with Mocean she has collaborated with many choreographers and artists in the community. This is the learning experience she values most in her career. Her passion lies in holding space with others; sharing, observing and connecting. She values the immeasurable knowledge she has received from all the artists she has had the pleasure and good fortune to build movement with, play, perform and spend time with. She has grown as an artist through working in many contexts and with numerous collaborators over the years. Some of these collaborators include Estelle Clareton, Susie Burpee, Sharon B. Moore, Roger Sinha, Howard Richard, Susan Elliot, Michael Trent, Daniele Desnoyer, Rebecca Lazier and locally Veronique MacKenzie, Gwen Noah, Lisa Phinney Langley, Jacinte Armstrong, Liliona Quarmyne and Sara Coffin. During these creations she has had the privilege of working with incredible rehearsal directors like Cathy Casey, Bonnie Kim and Julia Aplin. She has also found herself in a fulfilling career supporting children with diverse learning needs in elementary school. She’s an obsessive gardener, mother of 3 busy kids and loves her Saturday mornings guiding her little movers through creative movement.
