bio

"As an artist, I aim to make sense of what already surrounds and resides within us all. Rather than demanding more resources, I ask myself and my collaborators questions to learn from the history of our differing yet similar life paths. 

I notice what is and say yes to it. 

I vow to be honest and trusting in the moments of reflection and sharing that arise. 

I embrace the happy accidents and the cyclical patterns that flow between us all. 

I aim to create movement experiences that are both pleasurable and provocative. 

This is what fuels my research: 

the person I 

was, 

am, 

and will be 

in a space with people who 

were,

are, 

and will be. 

Through discussion and play, I reveal the richness of what already exists. I intend to create a full body of satisfying yet disruptive work through permission: permission to be risky, aloof, loud, and sly simultaneously. I foster a world where all can reclaim their power and unapologetically be."
