about me
hello, my name is Levi. I'm a mindful mover, a holistic dance- and movement pedagogue, a queer-ecological activist, a creative connector, a holistic_transdisciplinary maker, a queer, trans_non-binary being, an empathetic holder of spaces, processes and change, and a collectivist dreamer, currently based in Vienna, Austria.
my passion is to create and hold spaces, in which transformations towards more sustainable_regenerative cultures of self, body, community, relationality, activism, work, and interconnectedness with the more-than-human world can occur. always from a queer-feminist perspective.
to do so, I connect my practices and knowledges of dance, embodiment, activism, science, art and lived experience.
