Artist Statement

I am a multidisciplinary choreographer and work with dance, video, installation and works on paper. Choreography has been an expansive method for disrupting insular logics about my and others’ bodies, in order to narrate the world in novel ways. 

While at Headlands

While at Headlands I’ll be working on storyboards, writing, location scouting and test shots for a lens-based project centered around the history of the Headlands buildings and site. I’ll be researching the previous uses, stewardship or occupation of the land, with a particular focus on the daily rhythms and routines of the military. The project will involve choreography and movement to further research and respond to the location’s history.
