Direction & Performance
My practice works through embodied storytelling and image-making across performance, installation, and film. I draw from dance-theater, burlesque, cabaret, and multimedia forms to explore grief, intimacy, ancestry, and transformation.
Below are selected bodies of work—some complete, some ongoing.
Bodies of Work
GOOD GRIEF/ SNAKE SKIN
An evolving performance and visual research project
Good Grief /Snake Skin is an evolving body of performance and visual research exploring grief, intimacy, memory, and transformation through embodied ritual. The work unfolds across solo and duet dance-theater, burlesque-informed performance, workshops, and visual installation. Through erotic address, humor, and vulnerability, the project treats intimacy not as subject matter, but as method.
FOURTH QUARTER
Devised performance confronting maternal mortality and climate collapse
Fourth Quarter is a devised performance with live, original music that confronts the mortality of our mothers and the earth as we know it. The work moves fluidly across performance modes—first-person storytelling, raucous dance numbers bordering on burlesque and the grotesque, basketball drills, and satirical character work—to hold grief, humor, and urgency side by side. Drawing on the real-life cancer diagnoses of the performers' mothers, the piece invites audiences into shared mourning, celebration, and reckoning with a changing climate.
CURATED & IMMERSIVE PERFORMANCE
Interdisciplinary performance through facilitation and embodied design
This body of work centers interdisciplinary performance shaped through process, curation, and encounter.
The projects foreground intimacy, atmosphere, and flow, unfolding in transformed environments that invite heightened attention.
VISUAL & INSTALLATION RESEARCH
Image-based investigations of the body, memory, and material transformation
My visual and installation research extends from my performance practice, centering intimacy as both method and ethic. I work with image, material, and archive to explore the body as landscape and living record.
I'm drawn to close-looking—the tension between image and flesh, color and pressure, sound and silence. Erotic and grotesque elements coexist as moments of beauty and rupture. Often developed in dialogue with oral history and live performance, this work translates embodied research into distilled visual forms, inviting intimate encounters that shift how participants are seen—and how they see themselves.
