Bethany Burton

Aquatic Bodywork, freediving

Bethany is an interdisciplinary creative, a lifelong student of movement, and a creature of the water—hailing from turtle island. Her excitement for dance brought her to study at the Indonesian Academy of Arts in 2016, where she began ongoing collaborations with international and Indonesian artists and performers around the volcano-dotted island of Java.

Over the course of a decade she’s passionately studied traditional/contemporary dance and martial arts, as well as the therapeutic practices of yin yoga, freediving, contact improvisation and Aquatic Bodywork (Healing Dance).

Since moving to the mystic waters of Bali, Bethany has co-founded Inner Ocean Collective, a women centered cooperative of somatic movement facilitators, aquatic bodyworkers, and sound healers, together utilizing water as a tool for compassionate self-inquiry and collective remembrance.
