My curiosities as a choreographer are constantly evolving. I am always surveying my movement values and biases that drive my habitual ways of moving and creating. I aim to make work that is vulnerable and authentic above all else. My choreography weaves together theatricality and virtuosity in a way that serves my personal history while staying open to newness. I rely heavily on gestures, props, and an element of bizarreness. It is also common to see evidence of my more “traditional” training through battements, leaps, manipulated balances, and other references to ballet, jazz, and modern movement vocabularies.

When I go into a choreographic process, I like to consider myself a little world-maker. I generate pools of inspiration that keep me fueled and curious. I try to evoke all of my senses: sound-mining or creating a playlist that transports my ears, sourcing visual art that feeds my eyes, writing to ignite my imagination, collaging to provide tactical sensations, and even eating food that feels connected to the work.
