Artist Statement

My choreography is rooted in the body’s capacity to question and to know. I begin with uncertainty—letting questions, not answers, shape the process. I’m compelled by the fragments of daily life and the private, often unspoken, spaces where movement becomes a reply to what resists resolution. My work resists tidy narratives; instead, it seeks the tension between intimacy and distance, care and risk, presence and absence.

In the studio, I invite dancers to bring their full complexity—vulnerability, intuition, humor, and contradiction. Together, we build a practice of co-authorship, where movement emerges from lived experience and honest exchange. I am interested in the subtle politics of care, the quiet power of mothering, and the ways we carry or let go of one another. For me, choreography is a site to disturb comfort, to examine the edges of authenticity, and to linger in the unfinished.

 

My works are intentionally open-ended—unfinished until they meet the audience, and even then, meant to provoke further questions and sensations. I hope the choreography continues as a conversation, echoing in the body and mind long after the performance, inviting each person to find their own meaning in the fragments left behind.
