I believe art making is the most precise and comprehensive way to share an existential dialogue; and that dance, like darkness for stars, its most accommodating container.

The practice investigates my sense of becoming and the fluidity of self. It seeks the release of internalized oppressions through the interrogation of entrenched perceptions of hierarchy and difference. The resulting works have manifest as interdisciplinary performance/media projects navigating both history and subjectivity, often incorporating audience participation in conceptually foundational ways.

Today projects are influenced by unreliable perceptions of pandemic isolation, socio-economic equity and global interconnectedness. In response, screened projects have shifted production development towards minimalist narratives with flamboyant surreal imagery, highlighting the delicate, insidious effects of colonialism. Similarly reactive performance projects have moved away from elaborate company choreographies, and towards unadorned yet ritualized activities involving my aging body seeking transformation through the economies of attention that institutionalized equity and technological interconnectedness now generate.
