Teaching/Directing/Choreo/Performance

There is nothing more exciting for me than to pass along the craft, inspire others and witness the growth and empowerment of deepening skill sets and creative evolution through collaboration. I love helping people make discoveries and reach beyond their notion of limitations. I believe in creating a nurturing yet rigorous creative environment that is conducive to learning and taking risks, and helps each artist feel confident and unique. I love process. I believe there is great nobility and purpose in the trying, regardless of the outcome. As illustrated in the picture above, I like facilitating leaps into the unknown, in both the classroom and the rehearsal studio.

These words by Bill T. Jones have always resonated with my calling as a teaching and creative artist: “All that I humbly ask, is that I’m allowed to participate in the world of ideas. And the world of ideas – if it is really allowed to do what it should do – is a rigorous, scary, challenging place. If you’re going to participate with people at their peak of asking questions, gaining information, making things, you have to be on your game. That’s what I want my life to be about.”

Helping people transform their lives through the arts – and understand this transformation for themselves – is my deepest privilege and passion.
