Alicia Hann

Bio

Alicia is a dance educator, performer, and choreographer based out of Columbus, OH. She began training in early childhood focusing heavily on the study of ballet, later receiving a BFA in modern dance performance and choreography from Ohio University. Alicia fell in love with modern and contemporary dance forms because of their endless possibilities for creative physical expression. Alicia has been a dance educator for over a decade and continues to teach various dance techniques and improvisational dance in studio, community, conference, and university settings. Alicia hopes to be able to foster an appreciation of dance as a physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual pursuit.
Alicia is also grateful for her role as Director of Operations for The Institute for Creative Mindfulness. She especially has enjoyed the advocacy work as well as supporting the highly skilled Network members administratively so that they can put good out into the world by developing continuing education courses for mental health professionals in dissociation, EMDR, and expressive arts.
In addition to dancing and working for ICM (soon to be Creative Mindfulness Network) Alicia enjoys her urban vegetable garden, backpacking with her husband, and cuddles from her rescue dogs. She is a survivor of a trauma induced eating disorder and a plural person who continues to work on her healing and trauma recovery.
