Dancing and creating dance is part of the fabric, which makes me. My choreography expresses the words, thoughts and feelings that I cannot in my everyday life and has been described as “hauntingly beautiful” and “thoughtfully crafted.”  As a choreographer I have come to be known for my emotionally driven and gesturally rich dance pieces. These pieces exist in their own world; they are slices of a life, a snapshot of a moment. My dancers and I bring our own emotional truth into the movements, with the goal of presenting meaning rather than representing meaning. I see my work as mini dance-theater pieces; with the movement being specific and purposeful.
