Episode 67: Sarah Silk

Sarah Silk is a Pittsburgh artist with a wide range of depth and experience. She is a movement teacher, primarily teaching the Feldenkrais method of somatic education, as well as a theater actor and a fiber artist. Her formal education includes a degree in Philosophy from the University of Chicago, an MFA in acting from Rutgers University, and comprehensive professional certifications in Pilates, yoga, myofascial release in the Barnes method, and Feldenkrais (see feldenkraispittsburgh.com).

Sarah has appeared many times on Pittsburgh theatrical stages to great reviews. As a sustainable artist, she collaborates with her mother Louise Silk, who is a prolific Pittsburgh artist. Together they created SilkDDenim over a decade ago, where they deconstruct used clothing by hand and re-make the recycled materials into individually crafte objects. She is also a member of the initiative known as the Rustbelt Fibershed, which is a bio regional textile community growing hope and resilience through local fiber, local color, and local labor.
