I am a Los Angeles based choreographer, performer, dance teacher and yoga instructor. I have been making dances since my first exposure to movement composition in 1999. Upon entering Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT I began deepening my understanding of modern dance technique and experimenting with cultural forms from Ghana, Java and Europe. I earned my bachelor's degree in Choreography and Performance from Wesleyan in 2009, where I choreographed and wrote my honors thesis on Authentic Movement in practice and performance. I have had the opportunity to perform in theater-based and site-specific works with Pedro Alejandro Dance and Dancers, Rachel Boggia, Katja Kolcio, Liz Lerman, Arianne MacBean and more recently in projects by sound and visual artists. I am also an arts advocate and have worked as an administrator with several nonprofit organizations, including Movement Research (New York, NY) and CONTRA-TIEMPO (Los Angeles, CA). I am currently involved in interdisciplinary film, sound and movement collaborations with local artists as well as site specific research as an Artist in Residence in Joshua Tree National Park.
Occupation ( maximum of three):
Movement artist(dancer/interdisciplinary performer), Administrators/Artist services, Independent Educators (consultant/ instructors/ workshop leaders/ lecturers/ researchers)
