As I create Moving Works, I am deeply influenced by people and the stories we carry. When I lead groups, I aspire to evoke collective imagination, varied abilities, and personal experiences. I utilize my training in craniosacral therapy to enhance listening, body-to-body communication, and interdisciplinary processes.

Each dance work uniquely excavates choreography from a matrix of sources. Writing, sketching, and watercolor help cultivate and externalize internal worlds. Literature, art history, cinema and music provide additional narratives, imagery, and sounds to explore. I trust dancers and our audiences to embody new ways of being together as they nuance their neural pathways for compassionate interrelationship.

I currently draw from durational frameworks learned at the Marina Abramović Institute in Greece in June 2024. I am determined to continue evolving through dancemaking and performance. I always seek to expand my creative process.

I facilitate group artmaking by always intending to honor and respect differences in physical ability, language ability, size, race, sexuality, religion, class, gender, family structure, and age.

To cultivate sensitivity within intersectional groups, I hold talking circles where participants have opportunities to share their experiences and reflect. Creativity may be centered around storytelling, and all cultures are encouraged to create performances that express the varied circumstances that make up their lives.
