The Body Has Many Faultlines
A piece about a divergent mind and an unreliable body with many faultlines.
A movement and aerial piece with found and borrowed video snippets from influences and inspiration. The work also used video created during the pandemic when spaces were closed and access was limited. The video explores non-linear narratives and character with themes of aging, failure, and surprise.

Anatomy of Sequencing/ On and Off The Floor
St. Louis Aerial Collective
Saturday, March 30th
This class is designed to explore concepts such as hanging, balancing, falling and pathways. The focus is on aerial as a physical concept and experiential practice. We will explore theories about technique, momentum, presence and form while asking questions and embracing room for risk and possibilities. We will research movement and sequences on and off the floor to gain efficiency, fluidity, and awareness. Must be able to invert repeatedly in the air and have a strong understanding of basics.https://stlaerial.org/classes/workshops/
DON’T MAKE ME LAUGH is an evening disrupting interiors and identities. An evening that begins and runs wild. It is a piece about the passing of time, limitations, vulnerability, and everything crossing the path behind and in front of us. It is a lost and found of characters we carry and narratives we tell. It is a story told in repetition and told with a radical sense of honesty and a sardonic sense of humor.
Performing a work in progress and process of the vignettes of character and narrative sketches I did throughout the pandemic and continued after. It is also a piece is also about being floored because there is often a lack of space to perform and rehearse aerial. It brings me back to my roots of dance and to explore the floor concepts of some longer length aerial work.

Go Go Wrong.
Showgirl Wrong.
What if the systems in place aren’t designed for you to succeed? What if you say fuck it and keep plotting and making work despite the conditions? How does one make work when the institutions barely recognize your artform of circus, of aerial? How does one age and not expire? What does it mean to make work that refuses the question. What does it mean to refuse a gendered gaze? How does one combine visual art, circus, cabaret and contemporary dance and movement and not get dismissed?
