artistic statement
I am a dance artist that finds myself leaning into performance as the foundation of who I am as an artist; questioning what a performance is, who is watching the performance, what is my experience in the performance? This strengthens my approach to creativity, movement, and artistry. I aspire to be a creator that impacts, informs, and inspires the audience while bringing my own perspective to each artistic endeavor.
I am a dance artist that is inspired by the world around me; many things inspire what I do. Lived experiences, nature, other artists, social activism, and personal instincts influence my work. I am most inspired by complex ideas, or conceptual thoughts and adapt them into an abstracted movement. I find inspiration in the collaborators I am working with. The process is never one-sided, but rather a flowing continuum which allows for learning from one another.
I am a dance artist who is constantly changing. The world evolves around me, and I evolve around the world. Who I am is intertwined with what my art is. I am constantly morphing to become the person, and artist I am. Movement allows communication between artists, audience, and the environment that we surround.
