a choreographer and dance artist → about → work
My work synthesizes experiences, drawing from traditional aesthetics, musicality, and weight to build a physical language that feels both grounded and expansive.
It is rooted in contrast: force and suspension, control and release in constant dialogue. Movement stretches beyond itself to challenge physics, creating a sense of excitement within the body and pushing toward the unexpected.
Resistance plays a central role in the process: generating tension and momentum so that movement carries both impact and intention. This opens space for storytelling without relying on a fixed narrative.
The body is treated as fully three dimensional: constantly shifting, carving space, and existing in layers. The work lives in that dimensionality and seeks moments of clarity, intensity, and wonder.
