Matrixia Moya

Matrixia Moya draws largely on Global South performance practice traditions and knowledge through Performance as Research; the legacy of Indian Development practitioners from the 70s to early 2000s, as well as psychodynamic practices through somatics, meditation, Yoga, Authentic Movement, Group Relations and the Jungian based BodyDreaming approach to develop strategies and solutions for a wide range of issues related to health, learning, growth, social justice, ecological justice and leadership today.
