Artistic Statement
Dance is where I exist in the crossroad between a human and ethereal being. Here is where my mind, body, and spirit are the most present and united, from which sincere and truthful movement is revealed. At the core of my movement is breath, the foundation of both the science and art of performance. I utilize it to explore polarity, groundedness, flight, force, flow, and energy. I embrace it in building relationships with others and to communicate without having to speak. It's important that the spaces I collaborate in are enriched with creativity, trust, drive, and above all, laughter…which of course is the best release of breath there is.
It is within my experience and belief, that dance is the unique medium in which we are able to interweave our mind, body, and spirit into artistic expressions that are both impactful and ephemeral. It is a shared moment in time which no one experiences in the same way. It is universal, yet particular. When we as humans are this present and tuned in, we are able to fully immerse ourselves in the exploration of the human condition. Here, there are such rich emotions and sensations that are uncovered, allowing us to share and connect with each other - whether onstage or audience. It is this connection that is so important, as we find we are serving as a vessel for this experience that is bigger than ourselves. It reaches beyond the stage and embeds itself into the hearts of those who are witness to this rich exploration, who then go on and share these discoveries with the world.
