“For me, choreographing is a way of thinking about the world and about the people in it. Making dances constantly challenges me to look and re-look at my own perceptions, methodologies, and practices. Through dance I attempt to convey specific concepts, seeking to strike some resonance with the viewer. For me, a successful dance is one that is carefully crafted, thoughtful, and genuine. While my own creative process continually undergoes change, the goal for my work remains the same: to bring to life an individual perspective on the world, no matter how dark or humorous, painful or euphoric.”
