I am driven by a fascination with the human experience—its resilience, vulnerability, and endless capacity for transformation. My choreographic work seeks to uncover the intricacies and idiosyncrasies that define who we are, inviting both dancers and audiences to immerse themselves in the richness of our shared existence.

Rooted in contemporary dance, my work is introspective, witty, and layered, offering space for authentic contributions from the artists I collaborate with. Their unique perspectives are essential to the creative process, bringing depth and diversity that breathe life into each piece.

CURRENT WORK IN PROGRESS

‘_ _ _ _ _ y’

Created in collaboration with and performed by Aika Doone and Hunter Wayne Foster

My vision for this work is to continue to develop the piece into an evening length. ‘_ _ _ _ _ y’ started in incubation at Jacob’s Pillow during the 2024 Ann & Weston Hicks Choreography Fellowship.
