Artist Statement
“My work often deals with my thoughts on what goes into the creation of a full life, a human life, a life well-lived. I choose to explore these ideas through the medium of the human body. I am interested in constantly changing the take-off point, varying the moment of inception for the creation of a new work: beginning from the conceptual, the kinetic, the musical, the visual, the spatial. Where can I start that will lead me to movement? When I choreograph, it is to relay a message, though not necessarily a specific message. I hope to offer impetus for thought, emotion, and something less definable.”
