Current

Research

I began dancing at 3 years old, and as I grew into myself as a dancer and an artist, I began to explore how all the relationships I have had throughout my life have affected how I move through the world. I am intrigued by body language and how my own posture is directly influenced by the presence of other people in my surroundings, some people will make you feel small, while others help you feel self-assured and larger than life. The central focus is always the relationship between the dancers, whether positive or negative, the people I dance with will change how I dance. To show a toxic or negative relationship, the dancers will push each other down, sometimes they will attempt to pick a dancer up but not be “strong enough” to lift the other dancer. On the opposite end of the spectrum a positive relationship will focus more on weight sharing.
