Jane & Grace

Red Hook, NY - August, 2019


Jane & Grace have a unique bond. There’s alot of history there. There’s a lot of water under their bridge. It’s a sturdy bridge.

Jane is a budding choreographer, and both humans move magically together. When they asked if I’d film a new duet for them, it was a pleasure to oblige. They have both been students of mine before Grace went off to study dance at Marymount Manhattan. Jane will follow and start her collegiate dance studies next year.

Sharing space with them, even if behind the camera, makes me feel a little more full than I was before. If you’d like to see the full video, you can click here.

Pulse

Housatonic, MA - July-August 2019

Every summer I have the distinct opportunity of working with any number of dance studios on their summer intensives and summer dance camps! Sometimes, I even help studios design their programming, putting them in touch with the right artists and curating the themes, key take-aways, and final products.

Last summer I worked with Berkshire Pulse students for 2 weeks, and taught contemporary technique. We culminated the intensive with a film shoot after building a piece based on sensation.
I love teaching students how to feel things while they’re moving. It’s important to me as a performer and choreographer that the audience have a memorable experience, and that starts with the mover. If you don’t feel something - neither will they!
