We offer several official Open Source Forms Programs, from workshops that require no previous experience, to advanced work and teacher certification. Most workshops and programs are held in Seattle, WA.
Annual OSF Open Workshop
The annual OSF OPEN WORKSHOP is open to all — those without prior experience in Skinner Releasing Technique (SRT), Open Source Forms (OSF) or traditional dance, as well as more experienced practitioners. This workshop assembles a worldwide community for movement, creative practice & deep immersion in a catalytic environment of colleagues with diverse experiences in teaching, healing, therapy, performance, theater, visual art, writing, community-building & organization-development.
In 2026, we will hold an Advanced OSF Teacher Certification instead of our usual annual OSF Open Workshop. Introductory OSF classes will continue online and in-person in many places worldwide. See ‘Workshops’ on our website for updated information.
Online OSF Series
New! Periodic series of weekly classes, spanning 6 – 12 weeks.

OSF Advanced Practice Workshop
OSF Advanced Practice Workshops are open to those who’ve experienced the full spectrum of Introductory OSF or SRT (3 weeks) & want to deepen their practice. Some might want to pursue OSF Sourcing Deeper or Teacher Certification in future — or not.
Sourcing Deeper
The OSF SOURCING DEEPER program is designed for experienced OSF & SRT practitioners who long to more deeply understand underlying conceptual structures & strategies of OSF. Some may decide to follow with an OSF Teacher Certification Program. Others may want to take the work in other directions.
Though not a commitment to OSF Teacher Training, OSF Sourcing Deeper is a required pre-requisite for all applicants to OSF Teacher Certification Programs. It’s also designed for those who might take the work in other directions — e.g. research in movement, somatics or other fields, integrations with other practices, or purely for study & reflection, allowing future applications to unfold in time.
Applications are always accepted. See website for updates on OSF Sourcing Deeper programs.

OSF Teacher Certification
OSF Teacher Certification is a rigorous program that prepares teachers to be inventive and responsive to specific situations, while deeply understanding underlying spirit and intentions of the work. OSF offers methods to access depth, specificity, courage, rigor, integration and freedom in movement, vocal practice and performance. It empowers teachers to adapt these methods and discover their own in response to their teaching and performance situations.
The next OSF Teacher Certification program begin in July 2027, given sufficient qualified candidates. Please contact us as soon as possible if you are interested in applying!
OSF Teachers’ Conference
All certified OSF & SRT teachers & trainees are invited to our OSF Teachers’ Conferences. Morning Advanced Practice sessions facilitated by Stephanie Skura & teacher-training faculty. Afternoons will include time for all of us to share our research, experiments or performances, address topics of interest, catch up on recent updates, & delve deeper into OSF concepts we are curious to explore.
The next OSF Teachers’ Conference is TBD.
