I create dance works that use feminist narratives and ideologies that are deeply explored through collaborative processes.  We have an expansive definition of feminine, delving into complex relationships and roles as mothers/caretakers, partners, and friends, and social dynamics that examine power dynamics and varied qualities and traits of gender.  Through this we outwardly and dynamically embody current and historically lived approaches to the female experience.

I work with artists in dance, visual arts, and sound in creative projects. At the heart of my work are the dance artists and their relationships to each other of trust, boldness, thoughtfulness, and risk. 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. We collaborate with visual artists, incorporating textiles and interactive costumes and objects as they pertain to movement in order to create material and architectural landscapes to engage with physicality. We work with composers and musicians to imbed textures of sound, instrumentation, and rhythm.  Our collaborative processes as a community involve experimentation and trust wherein I lead and facilitate as choreographer and director.  From these perspectives we together create multi-faceted worlds for viewers to enter, experience, relate to, and reflect on.
