Artistic Statement

I am interested in dance as an expression of individual and community identity. As a performer and choreographer, I create work that manifests the interior emotional landscape through the outward reach of the body through space. I am interested in weight and momentum, in rhythm, and in the dynamic ownership of that moment of performance where audience and artist are united in a hyper-sense of time.

I am curious about our hybridity – our multi-ethnic lineages – our inherited identities and chosen experiences. I am curious how these shape our physicality and can be harnessed to create individual and collective connections.

I want to keep exploring this space … of simultaneous past/present/future, of dynamic connection to ourselves, and the clarity of Truth that happens in the community of performance.
