Creativity As Process

Rather than defining my creative journey by the goal, I embrace curiosity. I see the journey itself as art, and am dedicated to exploring the histories and everyday choices that define our daily lives. 

My creativity is grounded in the senses. It is the pursuit of sensuality and togetherness. I seek intimate presence and have an appetite for savoring what’s unfolding in the moment rather than rushing toward the ideas of where we “should” be going. So I break through the intentional distance between the stage and the audience because I believe performance is a way to embody reflection. By combining movement, sound, and intuition, I am activating my body as a catalyst and inviting the other bodies in the space to join the process of making something new together.

I do not perform pain or oppression pornography. My performance is not isolated in identity or stagnant in time. Instead, I create spaces that encourage participants to witness themselves through each other, not just as spectators. This is how I plant seeds for spontaneous and healing connection.

My Technique

    • Experimenting with everyday actions to arrive at a different story about the familiar

    • Improvisation and relying on a different set of tools for performance

    • Inquiry based movement as approaching something new in the company of others

    • Getting outside and deeply listening to nature, cityscapes, and social spaces

    • Departing from contained and designated performance spaces

    • Embracing the visual (eg. eye-contact, video, photography)

    • Creating embodied recipes for transforming generational wounds and nurturing intergenerational dialogue

My Projects & Offerings

Creative Facilitation

I use performance as guidework.

Showing my vulnerability opens up space for others to see themselves and develop an awareness of their surroundings. My workshops deliberately introduce discomfort and spontaneity to encourage nontraditional dialogue. As a place-based guide, I also use exercises that are deeply contextual and spark feelings about collective experiences.

For those interested in learning how to be with each other in more intentional ways or how to create new possibilities for connection within a space, I’d be delighted to guide you through embodied approaches for engaging with the unfamiliar.

Movement Meditation

I move to create space.

My movement meditations focus on cultivating connection with your body’s organic flow.

Developing an intimate awareness of your body’s rhythm is the key to accessing joy and change. Learning to groove with it is the key to fulfillment.

If you’re looking to craft space for feeling the textures of life and creating deeper connections, consider booking me for movement meditation.

28 Day Global Dance Meditation

As part of a collective of over 40 artists, activists, academics, parents, children, practitioners and healers, I facilitate Dance Meditations for embodying liberation as collective consciousness.

Erotic Rupture

In the coming year, observations, field notes, photos, and memory from time spent on the land will be merged to create guided audio meditations.

  • Experiments in Erotic Rupture (ER) is a land-based project that merges memory and movement. Inspired by the unfolding effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic and the incessant death haunting bodies perceived as “wrong,” this project invites play, curiosity, and attunement. ER has entailed group movement meditations, an IG live series on raking, and other public gatherings that unearth how borders (material, performed, and perceived) inform human and ecological relationships.

  • These meditations will be available for people to engage with leisurely when they visit the park. There will also be a  performance, and a chapbook of recipes dedicated to articulating processes and manifestations of rupture. 

  • The continued development of ER has been supported by the 2024 NYSCA Individual Artist Grant and a Visiting Artist residency at the Stone Quarry Hill Art Park.
