As a choreographer, I am constantly pushing myself to ask questions, research answers and explore as much as I can about a certain topic, while creating an environment that is collaborative, respectful and supportive to my dancers. The relationships and trust that I build with my dancers is the most important part of the choreographic process. I care deeply about each person’s well being and want them to feel valued for their time, contributions and artistry. My goal as a choreographer is to create meaningful and relevant work that resonates with both dancers and audience alike.
