Artist Statement

Every living person moves through the world in a body that carries its own narrative. Each gesture, posture, and physical experience is imbued with meaning, offering insight into the interiority and multiple facets of the human condition. Dance is powerful in its ability to give form to these intricacies of inner life, allowing the body to become a kind of common ground. It is from this place, the body, that I hope to encourage audiences to become more attuned to themselves. Through my work, by making visible the language of the body, I aim to move audiences across the proscenium divide that separates performer and viewer. In doing so, I hope they may find a deeper connection to the narratives they carry within themselves and an entry point into the intimate space of their own internal world.
