I am a creator, focusing my inquiries into movement and relationships between bodies. I investigate the body’s potential for momentum and expressivity, and I am intensely drawn to the composition of ideas in space, of movements in sequences, and of these juxtaposed with other elements.
My interests and perspectives contribute to the unique approach I bring to choreography, performance, and improvisational work. And I consider it work. I draw inspiration from the world around me – collected fragments, images, and designs I observe – and bring them into the studio to become the pulses and textures of my dances. Many of my dances are richly kinetic, containing curious logics that challenge the predictable and “known”.
