About

Whatever medium, my work is always relating back to what dance offers me: a way into my own body, the rigor of movement—the rigor of stillness, how to welcome sensation, how to behold beauty and try try try not to commoditize it. I am finding these connections through movement work, teaching, facilitating, and working as a craftsperson.

Experiments

I’m always interested in new skills and bringing together what I know (dance+film+costuming? movement+meditation+facilitation? textile art+performance art?) .

Currently developing a series of workshops under the collaboration noa with artist Naomi Worob.

I’ll also be launching a project in August of 2024, reaching back to my roots in textile design to create series of works using monoprinting. Reach out if that sounds interesting to you!
