“Being an artist means forever healing your own wounds and at the same time endlessly exposing them.” - Annette Messager

As a dance artist, choreographer, and improviser, I am interested in the information the body stores. Rooted in somatic ideals and concepts, my work constantly asks you to look within yourself to bring unknown emotions and experiences to the surface. The body holds every experience, so while our mind may forget, our body never will. How can we, as dancers, approach movement as a means to heal and process unwanted and ugly emotions? We dig deep. We feel. We interpret. We rediscover and expose emotions through movement.

I encourage –

surrender to bodily sensations.
