about the classes:

creeping cats floor workshop - The Creeping Cat workshop will explore the art of floor dance and flow acrobatics. Participants will learn unique, complex, and exciting tricks, paired with transitional movements to create intriguing combinations.

into the body - These sessions, guided by Ellie Murtagh and Kristen Cafari, draw upon a range of mind-body release practices that cultivate a sense of intention, freedom and exploration of our inner world. Through movement that encourages sensing, listening, feeling and resolving what is being held within our bodies, we create space to be guided back to centre, self awareness and release. Currently in the curious, beginning stages of learning and developing a practice that draws upon methods picked up along the way to regain alignment with our bodies, we seek to foster a deeper understanding of our inner rhythm and embrace the flow of experimental faith. Come as you are, all are welcome.

business basics & tax for artists - This month, we’re thrilled to host two workshops focused on the essential business skills every freelance artist needs. Leading these sessions is Josh, a Computer Science graduate from RMIT University with a deep passion for business and operations. As the Chief Financial Officer of CoExist since 2023, he has played a key role in managing CoExist's financial and strategic direction. Beyond this, Josh is an entrepreneur himself, having founded the gin distilling company ‘Unknown Spirits’. With a career rooted in operational management across various industries, he has honed his expertise in business strategy, financial planning, and entrepreneurship. His diverse experience brings invaluable insights into the business side of freelance artistry, helping creatives build sustainable and successful careers.
