My approach to dance transcends traditional boundaries and cultivates a unique and expressive vocabulary.
I thrive on the tension between structure and freedom, exemplified by juxtaposing ballet's precision and grace with Gaga's organic and imaginative research.
In partnering, I am fascinated by the instinctual ways dancers react to each other while exploring power dynamics: having to disarm and let go at one moment and taking charge the next.
Through a balancing act between guiding with intention and relinquishing control, I encourage dancers to integrate their intuition within my instructions, emphasizing curiosity as a vital aspect of creating art together.
