I exist to express the things I do not say out loud. Sometimes the movement is placed and
may emerge as a technical phrase, or it’s spontaneous, a simple gesture, or even a singular shape,
but it always rises from the felt experience of those things you don’t say. I investigate how
interactions, relationships, and experiences shape who we are. Each piece reflects the human
experience. Some are born from my own personal journeys; others speak to universal struggles
we all face. My aim is to honor what it means to feel, to connect, and to be shaped by the world
around us. To create works rooted in the rawness of human emotion, the good, the bad, and the
undeniably uncomfortable, exploring human connection and the depth of the human soul.
As a creator I feed off of the dancers and collaborators in the room, their energies, stories,
and our shared experiences. My work explores the physiological aspects of mind-body
connection and the complex relationship where our thoughts and emotions manifest into our
physical body. Through movement, I aim to reveal the complex relationship between our internal
and external self and the way it shapes, distorts, paralyzes or frees the physical body. I have
furthered my knowledge on these effects by taking multiple psychology and health classes in
which I learned in depth about the physical effects of our emotions. I plan to continue furthering
my knowledge by studying somatic movement as well as body-mind centering, and what that
means to be as a creator and through taking workshops
To conclude, my goal as an artist is to listen to the bodies and the people in the room with
me. Listen to the shared stories and human truths and go where the movement takes me. It
doesn’t necessarily need to be “pretty”, it just needs to be organic.
