I am a Brooklyn-based dance-theater artist with a BFA in Dance and a BA in Theater & Drama from Indiana University. Using performance, I explore, distort, and recontextualize simple themes to give a broad range of audiences new perspectives on shared experiences. Through my works of theater and dance, I present nonlinear narratives that use movement as metaphor. Offering easy points of access into unexpected combinations of themes, my work features patterns of repetition, mix-matched genres, and character-driven action. Constantly questioning the right medium for a particular story, I dive into characters that beg to be danced and themes that yearn for a voice.

Over the past nine years, I’ve created two evening-length plays, two half-evenings, and countless short works. Some of my favorite projects include House House House: a play with dance, an immersive play with dance; and The Most Important Meal of the Day, a short evening of dance and cereal. Post-collegiately, my work has been presented in NYC by Lemi Collective, The Tank, CreateART, and WAXworks.
