I am fascinated by the way that movement transforms state transforms relationship. In my teaching I move through forms that have offered possibility in my own life… Qigong, contact improvisation, paratheatrical explorations, theater games and somatic experiencing practices. I draw from my experiences with Axis Syllabus, Open Source Forms, Countertechnique, and contemporary dance. What is it to open oneself to another? What is critical to unlearn?
I work to create deep states of presence both with oneself and with one’s partner and place, in order to enter a state of unfettered play, vulnerability and deep creativity. How can we feel more, in order to more fully accept and embrace ourselves, take advantage of moments of risk and move through moments of fear, alienation, and self-consciousness? What does it mean to be responsive and responsible to another?
