As a dance-maker, I seek to use movement as a reflection of the active, fluid mind expressing the vulnerability of human life—its joy, chaos, and raw authenticity—through dance.

Time serves as the heartbeat of the work, giving movement a unique energy that propels each dance forward. My work integrates physical sensation with precision, impulse and ease, enhancing technical skill while capturing the abstract complexities of the human experience.

The goal is always to create dances that delve into the unguarded workings of the mind and heart, using mindful action to be fully present and engaged in the creative process. I strive to capture a sense of being awake in each work I create.

In the studio, I aim to cultivate a space for exploration. I am deeply collaborative, valuing sensation-based investigation as a powerful tool for developing technique, performance, and self-awareness. Humor and mindfulness are integral to my process, as I believe play creates a space where dancers can both remain true to themselves and challenge themselves simultaneously .
