Dec 2 -13: Residency at American Dance Festival

my work

I craft choreography as a poetic provocation, viewing dance as a form that must constantly redefine itself in relation to shifting sensorial, emotional, political, and cultural circumstances. I choreographically direct conditions of exploration that render themselves as dances, collages, photographs, sound scores, and pedagogical structures. The felt sense of my body in relationship to landscapes, imagery, and poetic associations drives my work forward. My aesthetic is informed by my upbringing in the Pacific Northwest, by the foggy collisions between familial loss and magical thinking that I experienced there. In this way, my work is oceanic, but not about the ocean; the work is of, rather than about, this geography. My artistic practice is embolded by feminist tradition and its engagement with the grotesque and deeply personal.
