I practice testing the body’s physical ability and instinctual knowledge of solving choreographic equations. The results in athletic, quirky, and engaging work.

My work holds honesty, vulnerability, and ownership. I am a dance artist who focuses her movement research on the unpredictable nature of improvisational play and the structural familiarity of narrative movement. I investigate narrative through historical research. Utilizing the art of film, visual production, theatre, and musical compositions, I create a collage of multiple viewpoints within a movement sketch. In the moments I find the work calls for the storyline; I am ignited by the smaller intricacies of gestural meaning.
Once I create rules that make room for mistakes, observations, and elaborations to be made, I am charged with excitement to test the boundaries of the body, mind, and spirit.
I am a dance educator that believes effort and curiosity drive learning within the classroom. I acknowledge early assumptions of what exactly dance is and tackle these thoughts with discussions of historical content, diversity, and anatomical knowledge of the possibilities within movement. A willingness to try is key, mistakes are welcomed, and play is endorsed.
