Polly Hudson
A teacher, artist, gardener, dancer and dance activist, Dr Polly Hudson’s work focuses on process within an artistic practice, ethical approaches to teaching, leadership and interaction, Skinner Releasing Technique, and eco-somatics, and is informed by the Slow Movement.
As a certified teacher of Skinner Releasing Technique, the principles of which underpin her approach to teaching, making art and daily activities, and as a gardener, Polly is curious about at what point a practice or an activity becomes art.

She was previously course director for dance at Coventry University, jointly with Katye Coe, and has taught widely internationally at universities, conservatoires and independently.
