My work accesses the heightened frame and ephemeral container of performance to experiment with alternate ways of being in the world. I manipulate physical looping, emergent text constructions, and stuttering gestures to access alternate possibilities for language, identity, and time. Performance making allows me to dream and actualize future blueprints in the present. I understand choreography as a set of constructed ecosystems, wherein the social order is highly prescribed and everybody plays a role. These roles however can be fucked with and slippages and refusals can occur.
