ARTIST STATEMENT

Dance is revelatory.

Drawn to the poetic possibilities of movement, I make dances that explore consciousness and connection. My work lives in embodied study, unfolding through solo and group choreographies for both performance and practice. I think about color, my mother’s young death, shaking and vibrational practices, geologic time—all interwoven with questions of vitality and sustainability. Dance-making, for me, is always already interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, intersectional: the body and Time, the person.

Haunted by elemental human themes and drawn to the ineffable, I return often to certain materials: the physics and psychics of magenta, afterimage, calving glaciers, environmental empathy, and loss. Movement vacillates between rigorous banalities—overdone hugs, excessive flapping—and wild off-kiltering, with performers spiraling and plummeting through space. A duet that sounds like an egg cracking. Stillness that flutters beneath a forest of neon pink. I carve the ephemeral into felt physical poetics—sculpting swells of virtuosic action, intimate gestures, and phrasing that feels woody, bright, and complex.

Intertwined with my visual arts practice, my work involves archival and multi-modal forms alongside choreography. Each process attempts to activate resonance, melding well-wrought dancing into intricate compositions attuned to something mystic-Fauvist, maybe post-modern-grit, into piercingly poetic meaning.​​
