Interests
I am broadly interested in physical training, improvisation, analysis, interactions and technology as means to discover new states of movement and experience, to test and expand limits in physical and mental challenges, and to achieve authentic expressive presence in the theatrical context. I borrow freely from many disciplines of dance as well as conceptual frameworks, including: aerial dance, contact improvisation, modern/jazz technique, physical theater, process scoring, Laban movement theory, and music theory.
