Musical Theatre

I have had the great opportunity to work with a lot of actors with little to no dance experience and in creative theater spaces. This has helped me grow in how to teach dance to non-dancers as well as how to create engaging movement applicable to the story while working around obstacles like being outside and having a concrete ground. Additionally, I have worked with many large casts averaging fifty or more people and emphasizing the need for full use of the ensemble. My choreography is based around story telling, character driven movement, and how those in the creative process can learn dance and movement essentials through the development of choreography. I pull a lot of my inspiration from choreographers such as Agnes DeMille, Twyla Tharp, Sonya Tayeh, Andy Blankenbeuhler, and more.

Modern Dance / Screen Dance

I am passionate about using dance to share the truth and honesty of life as we see it. I believe in authentic movement used to reveal the inner want to share my thoughts and mine as well as my colleagues stories. For these processes, as use a combination of improvisation developed into set choreography based on the impact of music.
