Let’s work.

I make to engage, unite, excite and distract…I like to ask myself, “Is it important for the work to exist? Is it effective? How can I make something that has already been said- when it needs to be heard again- new and fresh? ”

I enjoy twisting old familiarities into new molds,

adding possibilities for audience exploration.

It is so important to present work that has the ability

to reach people who exist outside of dance’s fragile inner circle.

As a community we must innovate and experiment to grow.

In Memory Of: November 2018

In early October I learned that an old dance friend of mine passed away at the age of 21. We had lost touch in the last couple of years and I was unaware she was even sick. About one week after, this song popped up on my Spotify. I thought of her immediately. Rachel always had such a graceful and rooted presence. So this is for her...but also for appreciating the things we can’t hold on to...for memories that warp and twist in our heads. I love my friends and I love the fact that I wake up everyday with breath in my lungs and a body to dance. Pause. Be thankful.

Something Stupid: December 2018

how do you take something back, once it is in a space?

what if what was said was not true but rather, word vomit from built up perceptions in your head?

is it possible to make something without a basis at all.. just aimless feelings vibrating off of chord progressions?

would you believe me if i said, i felt nothing and everything dancing this?

and also, worming down a subway platform never seemed so right.
