<h1>Artist Statement</h1>

My research as a maker is grounded in improvisation and collaboration with artists both within and outside the field of dance. I'm drawn to improvisation both as a process for generating choreography and as the performance itself for its potential to upend habitual patterns and preconceived notions of the self, and to insist upon a moment-to-moment relationship to the body-mind. My work has incorporated highly structured choreography, next to open frames for improvisation, next to a range of art forms: video, sculpture, spoken text, sound, and dance criticism, to name a few. I'm interested in the juxtaposition and layering of different forms in the space of performance for its potential to generate unexpected meanings, to destabilize a fixed center, and to shift perception a little or a lot. I dance in my own work and bring my research as a dancer for others into my creative process. Each choreographer I work with exposes me to a different way of making and moving. Inside these sometimes radically different contexts, I'm interested in the creative process of the performer in learning and inhabiting material; contributing movement and conceptual ideas; accompanying the choreographer into the unknown; and investigating the various states and manifestations of presence and what it means to be in a constantly shifting relationship to one's body, fellow performers, the audience, and the tenor of the work.
