ARTIST STATEMENT

I work tirelessly to create projects that fulfill my needs as an artist and highlight the beauty of the dancer and overall choreographic vision. I am focused on creating works and experiences that cater to both broad and specific audiences, and am readily able to adapt on the spot to all visionary or choreographic needs. As a teacher I am of service to my students, as a choreographer I am of service to the vision. I am particularly fascinated with the physical beauty of the human body and reaching physical extremes in terms of beauty, endurance and strength. My work aims to entertain, excite, and inspire, typically with an underlying thematic purpose. My work uses power to transport and transform the audience to explore a new feeling or question a pre-exisiting one. I tend to create movement that is unabashedly ferocious with a keen sense of attack. I gravitate towards dancers who look beyond the movement being a series of sequential steps and focus on performance quality. Ultimately my purpose as an artist is to put something out into the universe that inherently causing a reaction.
