Born in Minneapolis, MN and currently based in Brooklyn, NY, I am a choreographer, dancer, educator and certified Alexander Technique teacher whose work reflects an ongoing commitment to interdisciplinary practice, collaboration, and experimentation. I’m currently working on NOVEL FORMATS, a multi-year, 7-part performance cycle with a range of artists in different permutations.

I have an ongoing duo project with the composer and saxophonist Caroline Davis.
