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 framework 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 central to my creative process, shaped by the location and site of each performance. We incorporate textiles, interactive costumes, and objects to construct architectural and physical landscapes, while layering textures of sound, instrumentation, and rhythm. The historical, environmental, and cultural context of each site informs the movement vocabulary and themes, deepening the connection between performers, audience, and space.

When leading our collaborative community processes, I serve as both choreographer and director, guided by values of experimentation and trust. Each group’s perspectives shape the creation of immersive, multi-faceted worlds that invite viewers to enter, experience, relate to, and reflect on.
