Creative Research
I'm a creative collaborator.
A dance artist and teaching artist.
I make performance in collaboration with others:
as a choreographer,
as a performer in works led by other artists,
as an audio describer,
and as a collaborator with artists in varied media.
These roles aren't neatly delineated - they are beautifully permeable.
I study nuts and bolts of how the human body works, as well as cultural histories transmitted through dance. My work both as a creative practitioner and a movement educator invests in building awareness of and appreciation for the intelligence and expressivity inherent in every human (body), and the importance of mind-body connection, during a cultural moment in which human experiences are increasingly distanced, dissociated, and digitized.
Through dance performance and intentional collaborative creation, I seek to maximize joy, minimize harm, offer replenishment, and promote appreciation of the
real, tangible, temporary, beautiful, and imperfect human entity as a site of possibility.
