Molly W. Schenck

I have been interested in the intersection of trauma and creativity since 2008.  It has taken on many forms over the years; researching student advocacy through the performing arts, understanding bystander intervention through performance, using dance theatre as an artistic vehicle for social change, and, most recently, trauma informed creative practices and pedagogy.

 

I offer workshops, webinars, and trainings on the intersection of trauma and creativity within the context of the arts, education, and business. If you are interested in hosting a workshop or speaking engagement, please contact me directly. If you are interested in 1:1 work, please view these services to schedule a time.
