Teaching & Pedagogy

Sam Aros-Mitchell’s teaching emerges from the framework of Performance as Ceremony, approaching pedagogy as a shared process of embodied inquiry rather than instruction alone. Classes, workshops, and residencies function as laboratories for attention, relation, and collective learning, integrating movement practice, critical discourse, and Indigenous methodologies.

Teaching environments invite participants to experience performance as lived knowledge — engaging body, space, and community as interconnected sites of learning.
