EDUCATION

In my classrooms, students are motivated to take agency of their own learning and connect topics in theory and history with their personal movement practices and creative goals. My role as an educator is to assist and encourage students as they make these connections by: Providing safe and motivating spaces to learn and create; promoting opportunities to contextualize and synthesize their learning through discussions and projects; and leaving room for curiosity and questions.

In my rehearsal spaces, I encourage my dancers to contribute their voices and ideas in my work. Rehearsal studios take the shape of laboratories where experiments take place. Questions are posed and designs are created, changed, scrapped, and re-formed. Everything becomes a process including the products.
