Karin Fisher Potisk
Teacher of Body-Mind Centering®, Infant Developmental Movement Educator
Karin was born in Austria and studied Music at the Mozarteum Academy, where she gained a Teaching Diploma in Clarinet. She subsequently graduated from the London Contemporary Dance School, and also trained in the Scaravelli Method of Yoga. Karin co-founded and directed Ricochet Dance Company, an acclaimed dancer led contemporary company that toured and taught world wide. During the 20 years as Artistic Director and performer of Ricochet her interest in anatomy and movement led her to study at the first European Body Mind Centering Program in Amsterdam, graduating as Practitioner in 1999, becoming an Infant Developmental Movement Educator in 2007, and a BMC Teacher in 2012. Karin holds an MA (Dist) in Movement/ Directing and Teaching from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, where she is now a Visiting Lecturer. While Body-Mind Centering has been a thread through both her career in dance performance and education and her movement direction in theatre, Karin is particularly fond of teaching for “Embody Move” on the British Body-Mind Centering® Training, which allows her to keep researching and sharing, and growing within the community. She is fluent in German and English, and conversational in French.
