Creativity has been a constant in my life, it is essential to who I am. My choreographic work often investigates ideas through improvisation to create a sequencing of events, which embrace the human condition and explore the dynamics of movement and music to create context. Other times my work is driven by a cause, a strong message that needs to be delivered. In either case I frequently combine other media such as video, slide projections, props, and hanging sets to amplify the visual intent of each piece. My musical background informs my creative process as well as photography and cinematography which influence the visual aspects of my work.

Water Book

Water Book was a collaboration with Brazilian choreographer Aroldo Fernandes. Water Book incorporates the aesthetics of the Japanese dance form called Butoh. The piece incorporates various sections of surreal images of women dancing and moving together in slow motion covered in white powder and moving as one. There is a warrior solo, a meditative group section, and a closing sections where bodies tell the story of writings that are hung on a clothes line to dry and to speak the poetry of words.

Murmuration

A Murmuration is an incredible flight of a flock of starlings in unison. This choreography attempts to mirror the inherent connection found in these amazing birds and how they dance together at high speeds and very close to one another forming a group, a murmuration, a connection. Murmuration is accompanied by excerpts of Neels Castillon video "A bird ballet" and modified/recreated by Arina Melkozernova.

Trapped

The goal of Trapped was to bring an awareness to the idea of a sustainable world. We can no longer afford to trash plastic like there is no tomorrow. Plastic takes 700 years to decompose. The life at sea is being compromised by the waste of plastic that circulates in our oceans. Please recycle as much as you can.
