ARTISTIC STATEMENT
I am an interdisciplinary artist, an experimentalist, who is interested in exploring layers of identity through movement and media. My mediums are dance, somatics, and interactive projections. Through process-centered research, I sculpt experiences of understanding and discovery with fellow artists. My work values a range of dynamic partnerships between weight and flow, from rigorous athleticism to nuanced specificity, linking moments of controlled sustainment and liberating availability. I seek to create works that connect people. I strive to foster shared energy between participants – audience and performer alike – in order to question how we relate viscerally to one another in a media-saturated culture.
TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
I teach contemporary dance technique and improvisation to a variety of ages and experiences, from beginners to professionals. My pedagogy is influenced by my training and performance experience. My background includes Horton, Mobile Floor, Safety Release, Contact Improvisation and Alexander techniques. I approach teaching from a somatic perspective, as a facilitator of self-discovery, stimulating individuals to find answers in their own bodies and trusting in our collective experience to build new connections to our art form, and one another.
