Facilitators: Lyndel Quick is a dance artist, teacher and theatremaker based in Inverleigh, with a 25-year career spanning performance, education, and community arts. She has taught contemporary dance and yoga extensively. As the founding Artistic Director of Blink Dance Theatre and The Loft in Newtown, she has spent two decades fostering creative exploration and embodiment through dance. A recent major health crisis marked a pivotal moment in Lyndel’s life, during which she turned to outdoor dance as a restorative practice. This experience was deepened through her yearlong studies in Embodied Mythology with Josh Schrei, where she engaged with animism, devotional practices, and ritual. These practices converge in her current period of artistic work, which examines the interrelationship between nature, human consciousness, and the transformative potential of movement as a medium for healing and self-discovery. Bridget Sweeney is a visual artist and dancer with an abiding interest in arts and wellbeing. Holding a Bachelor of Psychological Sciences from Deakin University, where she received the Vice Chancellor Academic Excellence Scholarship, Bridget is currently pursuing a Master of Counselling. Bridget’s artistic journey spans over 18 years of formal training in Ballet, Jazz, and Contemporary dance, completing all RAD ballet exams at The Russian Choreographic Academy (Camberwell, VIC). She has performed and competed at state and national levels, including the Royal Academy of Dance Showcases and with Transit Dance in the Dance Architect Choreography Finals. In addition to her performance background, Bridget has worked extensively in community arts, currently teaching painting classes for both children and adults. She has contributed to various art events and exhibitions with Platform Arts and Geelong Gallery, including the RONE project. Bridget’s work has been exhibited at Hoop Gallery, The Space Art Gallery, and Unassigned Gallery in Brunswick. Her artistic practice is deeply informed by her interest in how visual arts and dance can be used therapeutically to build social and emotional connections.
