Marina
Collard is a freelance dancer, teacher and dance maker. She specialises in release technique as well as creative practice, both
of which are informed by a deep understanding of the body and its fundamental
functions.
She has danced for several independent choreographers and companies such as Carol Brown Dances, Cando Co, Siobhan Davies Dance Company and more recently for Dog Kennel Hill, Joe Moran and Ersatz Dance.
Collard has broad experience in teaching having delivered company class and professional class both nationally and internationally. She is a frequent teacher at Independent Dance, Laban and London Contemporary Dance School.
Having worked in dance for nearly 20 year, she qualified as a Biodynamic Craniosacral Practitioner working in London and Oxford. She trained at The Craniosacral Therapy Educational Trust under the guidance of Michael Kern, Steve Haines, Katherine Ukleja amongst others.
Her treatment approach is informed by her career in dance and her own experience of receiving a wide range of treatments throughout that time. Marina enjoys working in both as a dance artist and therapist as she finds that each of those practices inform one another and enrich, as well as deepen, her curiosity about the body.
Marina Collard has also had the opportunity to work outside her usual settings as an assistant for Breathing SpaceMaudsley NHS Trust psychiatric unit.
