I have performed works by Merce Cunningham, Corina Dalzell, Sara Hook, Sarah Marks Mininsohn, Rebecca Nettl-Fiol, Mina Nishimura, Tere O’Connor, Dr. M. Cynthia Oliver, Dana Reitz, Rachel Rizzuto, and others in addition to appearing regularly in my own work. My professional performing career began at 15 when I first appeared in a soloist role in the Albany Berkshire Ballet’s production of The Nutcracker. In the years since leaving a strict ballet environment I have confronted the conflicting desires to be honest and to be beautiful, and I am drawn to processes that leave room for both, honoring my hard-earned technical capacity along with my curiosity and desire to expand.
