Biography
Daniela has been teaching for 10 years in the performing and visual arts across New-Zealand and London. Her research explores decoloniality and arts-based methodologies. She values the intersection of faith, culture and diversity. Through the way she teaches here at BTI and her research interests, she addresses the paradox between the teacher and student’s experiences within the classroom through modelling creating an intentional space (physical, spiritual and emotional) that promotes equality and mutuality (Smith & Smith, 2011; Palmer, 1997).
