artist

I believe that art creates new narratives and visions for the future by dreaming, demonstrating, and sharing the embodied possibilities onstage that everyday interactions are incapable of instigating. I honor the body as a living and autonomous force rather than an abstraction of shape or object of desire. I know that how we move, communicate, and co-habitate inside of a dance studio and onstage is no different than how we move through, communicate in, and co-create the world; and I know that it matters how we do it. I believe that art is magic, and through my work I endeavor to create generous, accessible work that languages the invisible forces that shape our bodies, lives, and world.

teacher

For me, teaching movement is the intersection of passion and meaning. I love sharing the joy of movement with others and believe that teachers can support individuals, empower communities, and improve lives. Education and learning have guided my life; I participate in this lineage to pass on the best of what I have learned with these ideals in mind and body. I teach contemporary dance, contact improvisation, movement for actors, performance and composition workshops, and Pilates and fitness.

writer

I write stories, poetry, personal essays, and even research papers sometimes. Writing also makes its way into my performance work- check out A Long Lineage of Loneliness and Dreams or Stuck In Free Fall for more of my creative writing!

If you poke through my blog you’ll also find some written reflections.
