I love to experiment and play across disciplines, finding new ways to be creative and exploring new possibilities for performance. Sometimes I am drawn to new media and digital technologies; investigating video and film, collecting and editing sound, or dipping into motion capture and video projection. Other times I lean into more low tech practices; collecting materials for collage and junk posters, writing poetry and prose, painting with water colors and tempera paint, or drawing with chalk. Often these adventures lead to dance works or become part of the process and performance, sometimes they’re just for fun.
Music by Arvo Pärt
This piece was filmed over the course of three months as part of a durational choreographic project.
As we continue to wrestle with our questions about the fake and the real, the digital and physical space, and the possibilities of time, repetition, speed, echo, and performance, we chose to archive a few practices/daily habits that we return to while living curiously and emergently. In placing these videos side by side, we embrace some of the possibilities that 4 minutes could hold.
