Johanna Walker is an educator, writer, and performing artist living in Boulder, CO. She teaches and directs regular folks in making strong and vibrant solo performances. She challenges police officers to offer resource and listen while staying safe as a crisis intervention role-player. She helps girls and their parents practice skills for healthy conflict through educational theater.
Johanna has a strong practice in authentic movement and contact improvisation, grows and eats food from her garden, rides her bike whenever she can, and gleefully takes the bus around town using her prized Neighborhood ECO-pass, a regional bus pass in the Boulder/Denver area.
A nod to institutions, artists, and teachers, who have trained, cajoled, challenged and inspired me:
