My dance works are crafted to enable the viewer to indulge in a world of reflection and connection. They bring human experience and emotion to the forefront, giving audiences a chance to witness a physical and unique kind of communication that exists in space and time.

I close my eyes, breathe, then move. In so doing, encourage others to engage rather than circumvent the power of their inner dialogue. Though my work is filled with my particular meaning, there is opportunity for the viewer to contemplate and experience the work for themselves and uncover their own meaning. My live dance pieces and dance films center on memory, connection, and loss to illustrate pain; to capture its power and transform it into healing for myself and others.

These are snapshots of a moment. You are invited.
