In partial fulfillment of a Master of Fine Arts degree in dance from Hollins University | American Dance Festival,  I produced both performative and written sections of  're-| Dream With Me'. 

The seeds of the research lie in architecture- the carefully designed structure of something- specifically spiral structures and their correlation to, or manifestation of the self, of nature, of becoming... How can we re-shape and re-imagine each moment allowing for possibility to unfold? Re-fresh, re-new, re-write the histories and stories that bind us to a fixed identity and a fixed world..

'Well', also known as 'Talking to the Falx' is a mixed media | instillation work created over three summers at Hollins University in Roanoke, VA. It was performed in both duet and solo forms as well as an experimental film. 

A world of poetic reflection ... of strange and rich relationships ... of transparency … an exploration into the lives and work of two of the greatest Latino poets of our time - Federico Garcia Lorca and Pablo Neruda.

Orontea, is part one of a four part collection loosely modeled after the Italian opera of the same name.

Structured as prologue, Act 1, 2 and 3 this contemporary dance theatre work uses the dramatic music of Cecilia Bartoli.

The prologue duet pictured here asks us to see both far away places and what's right up close.

waist deep is a journey into both known and unknown terrain. It is not quite here nor there. It is masked and unmasked. It is the spaces between; or moving the in-between space. It is shifting the known to unknown and vice versa. It is finding a groove. It is black, white and grey. It is relationship in relation. It is performance always and never performing. It is the wilderness.
