Martha Graham said dancers were the athletes of god. I want instead, to come down from the gods we thought we could be and into the raw gorgeous humans that we are. I want dancers to live back in our shared human experience, where we are in a space together with people watching us. I want to bring human movement back to dance, and I want untrained movers to believe that they too can dance. I want to stop slathering technique and movement over the rawness of our humanity, and instead experience that rawness together with our audience.

I want challenge the mythology that we have learned to hold in our bodies. I want to take down the limits on how women are permitted to appear in space and in dance.

I want to bring my audience into the heightened experience of performance, touching their neurological core and connecting with our common human experience.

I want to be able to use dance to ask big questions. I want to legitimize the art form as a large scale means to question our way of being through the physical body.

I want to expand the number of people in the world who feel like they are allowed to dance.

I organize my projects around themes of place and home, how we fit in, and how we are ostracized. I explore these themes in the quiet, in the small moments between the highlights of our existence, and how little tragedies and victories shape our humanity.
