Workshops with Lynn Panting

Educator. Artist. Advocate.

For over two decades, I’ve designed and delivered movement-based workshops that nurture creativity, deepen collaboration, and support inclusive practice across disciplines. Whether you're in a rehearsal room, a classroom, or a community space, these workshops offer practical tools and embodied approaches tailored to your context.

I work with educators, artists, arts organizations, and community leaders to create engaging, responsive spaces where people can move, reflect, and grow together.
