Choreographic Portfolio
My creative practice is one in which our historied bodies not only act as a vessel for expression, but as expression itself. With imagination and interpretation as the pillars of my choreographic process, my goal is to craft work that appeals to the seeker of truth hidden deep within each one of us.
