Artist Statement

As an embodied art form, dance has the potential to bridge differences and traverse boundaries and borders by enabling viewers and performers to collaboratively generate meaning and build connection through multiple modalities/channels: the neurological and sensory, the emotional and psychological, the social and political. As a choreographer and working artist, I strive to stretch my own and others’ experiential repertoires through shared kinesthetic/aesthetic engagement and, in so doing, cultivate empathy as we collectively discover new ways to speak, listen, comprehend, interpret, interrupt, and understand our shared worlds.
