x dance 

In May 2020, I made a short dance video entitled x dance. I searched 'regret' in my email inbox, and collected words from rejection emails I have received since 2013. Two years later I’m revisiting and expanding x dance to a solo that reckons with pity and meditates on melodrama and the transcendence of no.

BODYSONNET Season 3. Performed at neverover (Little Boxes Theater, SF), and Blue Hour (The Foundry West Stockbridge, MA)

she took the shock as a lullaby

Performed as a part of Hubbard Street Pro Works in Process, December 2019

Studebaker Theater, Chicago IL 

The lone woman in “she took the shock as a lullaby” explores the geography of memory, and the simultaneous stripping away of sanity, while maintaining complete control over this disintegration. As the work progresses she confronts her fears, at times conquering them, while finding pleasure in the act of delving into the parts of herself which she has so long tried to ignore.
