Movement

Dancing since the age of 3, graduating from UC Irvine with BFAs in Choreography and Performance . . . it has been a synchronistic journey collaborating as a dancer and vessel with film artists, musicians, gallery owners, choreographers, painters, photographers, and change makers.

I have danced commercially, within the concert dance scene, and underground in more indie contexts. I have traveled internationally for residency and assisted the vision of other choreographers/makers.

My personal style is gestural, creature-like, softening, and commanding. I no longer leap across the stage or rely on more standard movements from heavy dance training. My width as a dancer comes from being connected to the ground, satisfying consciousness, the creation of beauty in the joints, and playing with form until atmosphere is more obvious. Sensuality and Sustainable, if not restorative practice, are corner stones of my dancing. Hands and sternum are my favorite creative allies as a mover, outside of collagen and imaginal guidance.

I identify as a fluid being, nb, neurogender, witch, and increasingly as woman or womban. My energetics are very feminine, with divergent strength. In all honesty, I am more interested in the sensations and technology of my body over violent gender histories as a lens for perception. I have told stories that are androgynous, loverly, female forward, and violent. I have also represented elemental forces, tarot cards, and conceptual textures.

Dancing for film and site-specific or alt performance settings light my fire.

I am someone still with a deep love of ballet, rhythm, improvisational partnering, and the poetics of space.

My archetype as the dancer is to bring thought into being and non-linear story into the room.

I think I was a cabaret dancer in my last life and now I am a siren earth worm in this one.
