Dance Making

My artistic practice engages subtlety, sensuality, and rigor.

 

I am interested in subverting the voyeuristic gaze expected in performance, naming performance as an exchange. I aim to soften the edges of our collective imagination to propose alternative realities —through movement and language— full of whimsy, focus, humor, and care. My creative works are formal and precise, teetering on the edges of ceremony and absurdity.

 

I am currently exploring my relationship with femininity and aging through autoethnography and anatomical study.

This dance is an abstraction and absurdification of reflections, heartache, and haunting. The performers exist in a haze between individuality and sameness.
