Dance Works

My dance work is rooted in an exploration of the person as expressed in their movements. I am trying to eliminate the dichotomy of seeing manual labor (whether as a dancer or ditch digger) and intellectual labor. I see dance as a series of physical intellectual gestures, derived from the connection and dissonance of the natural world and human nature. I try to use a weaving of memory, story, and emotion to approach some of the philosophical and intellectual issues we wrestle with in being human.

I create work for the medium that best fits the ideas. From stage, site specific, installation and video dances, each dance has its own voice. I create dances that offer glimpses of other worlds – that offer the viewer a new place to think in and from – to make new connections.
