“I am a Philadelphia-based dance artist and director of Moving Parts.  I intend Moving Parts to be a familial dance think tank with a group of steady collaborators exploring how art environments are made and trying to create elusive yet emotionally evocative performance experiences that straddle the fine line between focus and freedom.  I am concerned with work that is both somatically oriented and precisely organized visually. And ultimately in my practice, I’m asking existential questions about the human experience of being, in relation to self and in relation to others.  My work is grounded in the body, in the real, in the meaty stuff that I feel holds the stuff of being alive.  I like things that make me giggle, give me goosebumps, make me nauseaus, or make me cry. 

I’ve danced with Nichole Canuso Dance Company since 2006 for which I feel very blessed and from which I have learned so much and experienced such joy.  Seriously.  In addition to dancing for NCDC, I currently work with Lisa Kraus and was a member of Beast Productions and collaborated with Devynn Emory from 2005-2009.  I was educated and influenced by the good people at Scripps College and Laban Centre London. “www.movingpartsdance.com
