ResDance Series 5: Episode 1:  Rewilding potential for creating lasting positive legacies in practice with Sara Wookey In this episode, Sara discusses and reflects upon her work and practice around the idea of experiences as a mode for discovery and enlightenment. Alongside sharing the processes and approaches employed in her research, Sara shares insights into the theoretical frameworks that more widely inform her practice-based research and considerations around the shifting of practices in relation to geographical sites, cultural sites and shared spaces. The idea of creating positive lasting legacies inspires me. I’m a dance artist and choreographer; a researcher, writer and educator; and an advisor, coach and mentor working with people in cultural organizations, academia, nonprofits, businesses and boards. I specialize in movement and socio-spatial experiences, creative practices and relationships that are designed to revitalize and rewild potential. I am the only creative movement practitioner who works with people to offer imaginative ways to explore and experience spatial visualization and socio-spatial relationships that reveal the potential of individuals and organizations leading to positive and lasting legacies for them, their work and for society.
