I consider myself a dance-maker. Though I suppose that it is really physical poetry. I design metaphors, bump into nuances and make them larger.
I was born and raised on General Electric. It has shaped my metaphors for better or worse. Internal and External. I bring good things to life.
I began to train my muscles and bones in the art of dance technique from the impressionable age of three. I knew I was born for it. My body was clay and my spirit has been true to it's purpose: create this way. Rhythm has been my grounding, and my tap shoes, at times, my drug of choice.
Life is beautiful and life is hard. Art and love make it worth it and keep it expanding.
My first dance-making was done with dolls and objects. I would arrange. Move them, number them. Enter and Exit them. Then I learned to do this with people. And I am still practicing on making it as meaningful as possible.
I have had the absolute joy and privilege to study too many dance techniques with too many amazing people to list here. I regret none of what my body has suffered for doing this. Now, I enjoy the techniques of Gyrotonic, Continuum, Reiki, Sweatlodge and Qigong to reward my body and spirit for all it has and continues to provide for me and many others.
The COH Ensemble (Creatures of Habitat) is a creative passion that lives at the roots of all my making. The opportunity to bond the elements that make us breathe, bleed and birth is an honor. This group helps me to express something I otherwise would frustratingly hold inside: My deep curiosity about and longing for connection to Nature, a force so often taken for granted.
And the ways in which we still ARE Nature.
