Caroline Schanche took a degree in Theatre Language at Dartington College of Arts. She specialised in post-modern dance forms being taught by Mary Faulkerson, then head of dance, and participated and performed in the Dartington International Dance Festivals. After graduating she began working in London particularly with marginalised groups such as adults with learning disabilities and elderly visually impaired people. Having witnessed the transformative power of movement through her work, she trained as a dance movement therapist in order to deepen her understanding of the relationship between motion and emotion. She specialises in teaching dance improvisation and works with groups of all ages and abilities in a wide variety of settings.
