artist statement
Awareness.
Collaboration.
Inclusiveness.
Disruption.
I improvise. I dance. I make dances.
My dance is unpredictable, created in the moment, spontaneous - striking a provocative balance between seriousness and playfulness. I work with the myriad possibilities of the body, including my physical body, my partner’s body and our cultural body.
I create collaboratively. I find in others a quest for unforeseeable interactions seeking to break taboo and to bridge previously destroyed links between people. I have an ever-growing commitment to create a performance language between me and those I perform with.
My dances push for a continuous investigation of connection. Performers blend into each other’s space, non-hierarchically regardless of medium, ability and age. Audiences are given both agency and responsibility and I like to challenge the way they receive my work.
My dancemaking is community-driven and community-integrated and it tackles issues of identity and power. I am committed to creating access to experimental dance and improvisation in spaces where it is usually absent and to share its developmental power with the public. I use culture to organize community and organize community to create culture.
My work is political by nature; improvisation is playful resistance.
