About Shoshana Sarah
Shoshana Sarah is a Jerusalem-based multidisciplinary artist and a proud multipotentialite. She is a poet, spoken word artist, lyric essayist, author, workshop facilitator, voiceover artist, actor, movement teacher, performer, model, and English teacher.
Founder of Poets of Babel, a multilingual poetry club, she facilitates creative writing and spoken word workshops. She is a teacher of The Pelvic Portal Method, another way to express the voice and find home in the body. Dancer, performer, street artist, and art model, she also practices contact improv, Feldenkrais, and mystic arts. She researches the rhythms of Gnawa playing sagatim (zills) and karkebs. In her spare time, she loves camping, playing with her bow and arrow, becoming a dancing cow, and being a part-time fairy (but for real though, photo evidence below). See here for her voiceover portfolio and list of publications.
I dance and I dance with words
Part-time Fairy
The Pelvic Portal Method
The Pelvic Portal Method has become a way of life for me – a real portal to increased self-awareness, self-love, being comfortable in my skin, and finding a home in my body. I offer classes, workshops, and one-on-one lessons in the method. Contact me for the latest offerings.
Creative Writing & Spoken Word Workshops
I am a storyteller. I am the voice. I am the scribe. I am a wordsmith. The form varies — from voiceover to spoken word poetry to interpretation, from content creation to blogging, from literature to creative non-fiction — but the goal is the same. We all just want to connect and to be understood. Over the years I have cultivated the tools to write the script of my own story using creativity as the source. Let me help you do the same. Let me lend you my voice. Let me lend you my pen. I offer workshops in creative writing, spoken word poetry, and private writing coaching. Click here to learn more. Reach out here for upcoming workshops.

Things with the Body
Besides The Portal Method, I practice contact improv & Feldenkrais. I model for TLV Agency and art model at Bezalel Academy. I am a forest fairy & a dancing cow. I am a street performer. I am this and I am that. I make collages & weave baskets. You can see the multipotentialite medley here.
