Led by deeply collaborative processes, my dance works focus on feminist narratives and ideologies. With an expansive definition of the feminine, we dive into complex relationships and roles as mothers/caretakers, partners, and friends, and social dynamics that examine power and varied qualities and traits of gender. Our work embodies current and historically lived approaches to the female experience.

At the heart of my work are the dance artists. Their relationships to each other and their trust, thoughtfulness, and risk form the backbone of my work. Physical and emotional power are central to my movement grammar; I am drawn to experiences of time through stillness, speed, and overexertion, and effects of weight through force, conflict, and strength. 

Collaboration with artists in dance, visual arts, and sound is integral to my creative process. We collaborate with visual artists, incorporating textiles and interactive costumes and objects to create architectural and physical landscapes. We work with composers and musicians to integrate textures of sound, instrumentation, and rhythm into the work. 

When I lead our collaborative community processes, I facilitate as choreographer and director, guided by values of experimentation and trust. Each group’s perspectives drive the creation of multi-faceted worlds for viewers to enter, experience, relate to, and reflect on.
