Manifesto
My greatest offering & reason for teaching resides in my deep hope & belief in others to stretch themselves to a potential not yet known to them. A version of themselves that is sillier, more brave, more present, more honest with themselves & then willing to look at & grapple with the consequences of those risks. I am a cheerleader to those wishing for a bolder practice. I am a mirror through clowning & character. I am an inquisitor to challenge habits & encourage revelations through play & confrontations. I am a student in community.
“Working with Aishia is a life-changing experience. To be in a room with her is to witness a shooting star up close and hope some of her stardust rubs off on you. Her belief in the potential of human beings to create magic and her own continual embodiment of that belief calls everyone around her to a higher level of excellence, authenticity, and courage. Working with her and learning from her has made me a better artist and a better person.”

“Working with Aishia has been the honor of a lifetime. Her capacity to create ripples of impact through movement and expression is awe-inspiring. Her presence is grounding yet invigorating; it holds the power to transform everyone around her into the most authentic and expansive version of themselves."
