Artist Statement

I’m interested in bringing storytelling into contemporary movement and elevating traditional stories through interpersonal physicality. My work is like pen on paper, except the line drawn by the pen is wet and slightly smudged across the page, creating gradients that eb and flow between structure and fantasy. The work is grounded in the movement of physical structures, guiding the eye into a dance of its own that seeps into the nerves of the body. Characterization and choreography saturate the foundation creating something uniquely personal to the audience in the room - with movements fleeting as fast as they are arriving, the work lives freely in the present moment and lives on through memory and interpretation.

​

My work spans across stage and screen. It dances on the edge of both the commercial and concert worlds, bringing them together, in order to create more spaces in which I can share my practice with others. I believe that bridging the gap between the audiences of commercial and concert dance is imperative to the future of the dance world. Therefore, I actively work to expand my creations’ reach and accessibility by exploring new audiences and mediums in order to nurture the life of live performance art. I believe dance can be expansive, exhilarating and personal all at once and that is something that should be shared and celebrated.
