Artist Philosophy
The work that I do requires a classically trained dancer with the ability and willingness to discover an integral connection with the teaching or choreographic material while being present in the moment.
Beyond a traditional form of expression, I consider dance as a powerful tool to ignite dialogues across cultures, artistic disciplines and civic awareness.
