Elaine Colandrea's abiding interest in the transformative capacity of the body led to a master's degree in Dance Education from Columbia University and careers in dance/choreography, somatic education and bodywork. Authorized to teach Continuum by Emilie Conrad and Susan Harper, Elaine offers workshops from New York's Hudson Valley, teaches regularly in Italy and has been an invited presenter at Associazione CranioSacrale Italia, Dharmakaya Center for Wellbeing, ISMETA, Omega Institute and Shantigar Foundation.Elaine's deep passion for bringing together somatic practice and artistic expression guided the creation of Watermark Arts. As Artistic Director of Watermark Arts, Elaine curates digital art galleries; produces exhibitions, films and performances; publishes an annual journal and hosts conferences and workshops. The inquiry closest to her heart is how the somatic arts foster healthy relationships with oneself, others and the natural world. www.elainecolandrea.com
