Nothing ever becomes real ’till it is experienced.

WELCOME to Elizabeth White Studio
We work with kinaesthetic and experiential techniques. Our approach inspires creative teaching, improves quality of movement, supports therapeutic and/or performance processes.
‘Motion and emotion, form and content, body and mind are inseparably united.’
Rudolf von Laban

During her early 20’s Elizabeth performed professionally and went on to complete a Laban Education learning how to analyse, read and write movement. She developed a passion for bridging theory and practice, and exploring tools to support mind and body.
On graduating she worked with independent Theatre companies, and began carving a niche making her work accessible to all people and abilities. Her introduction to Kinaesthetic practice began over 20 years ago and continues to inspire and inform her practice.
Later, Elizabeth undertook extensive pilates training spreading it out over several years, consolidating a hands-on practice with experiential anatomy. Collaborating with health practitioners led her to teach in physiotherapy clinics in London England and North America.
In North America she opened her own studio in Yorkville, and studied at the Gestalt Institute of Toronto.
Elizabeth’s unique facilitation offers tools and insights to support the client and/or group with their own practice, development and/or profession.
She has worked with a broad range of sectors and abilities, including (& non excl.to) actors, wheelchair users, musicians, yogini’s, Alexander teachers, writers, artists, and/or professional sports players.

The sense of freedom felt euphoric! I brought the principles and this new-found awareness into my own work, as an artist, especially in times when self doubt and insecurities kicked in, to support my creative process and deep healing.
Elizabeth helped me to re-balance, and experience new ways of moving to improve my self practise.
A wonderful and sensitive teacher, I highly recommend.
As a wheelchair person that does Pilates on a regular basis, I found the Kinaesthetic Movement (one-on-one) a fantastic method for opening up my body and mind. I highly recommend Elizabeth.
Elizabeth’s approach feels unlike anything else I’ve tried to strengthen and stabilise my hypermobility. She helped me increase awareness of muscle, bone and ligament, and ways for enhancing my self practise.
As an actor I have had a lot of experience with movement and voice coaches, and rarely have I seen someone with as acute an eye as Elizabeth. She is a Master of her Craft.
Elizabeth takes time and care in every session to tailor to what you need. She helped me learn specific movements for Scoliosis and exercises to relieve pain. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Her creative process in movement had a magnetic effect drawing on primary frequencies in my music. She worked like a conductor in reverse - I was able to see a visual blueprint to my songs that allowed me to further interpret them on a kinetic level.
I had been suffering from a shoulder injury that working with an RMT did not resolve. After 2 sessions, my pain level had deeply diminished and my range of motion had increased remarkably. I highly recommend Elizabeth White Studio.
