I have a long and strong reputation for delivering high quality workshops, masterclasses and residencies to all age groups (youth companies, school groups, undergraduate/ post-graduate students, professionals) across the UK and Europe. I am also often asked to guest lecture or commissioned to make new works at institutions such as Laban, Central School of Speech and Drama and Bath Spa University. If you are interested in booking me to deliver a workshop for your organisation, inviting me to guest lecture, or commissioning me to create a new work, please do get in touch. The content of my workshops is negotiable and can be tailored to suit the needs of the venue and the participants. Workshops will always be highly physical and provide insight into my unique working process. If you are interested in taking part in a workshop, please see what's on offer below.

Fast, fun and highly physical. Suitable for dance groups, undergraduate/post-graduate students and professionals, this workshop is an opportunity for participants to learn some of the repertoire from Karla's touring work. The workshop will comprise company class and stretch, the deconstruction and learning of between one and four phrases (dependent on length of workshop) and the opportunity to re-construct and perform the material.	Company Masterclass: Interrogative, highly physical and packed full of discoveries. Suitable for artists from all disciplines, this masterclass offers a unique opportunity to go beyond what participants think is physically, vocally and emotionally possible. The masterclass will explore Karla's highly innovative approach to accessing the performance consciousness in order to reveal the true self. The masterclass will comprise company class, repertoire, improvisation, choreographic tasks and, time dependent, the opportunity to make and perform a work.
