About

Following formal ballet training at The School of American Ballet, I delved into a 30-year exploration of Contact Improvisation and Somatic movement practices. Alongside engagements with James Sewell Ballet, Alonzo King LINES Ballet, and The Forsythe Company, I crafted over a hundred dances and performance scores spanning stage, screen, and educational realms.

My interdisciplinary work, venturing at the confluence of Improvisation, Choreography, and Training, has garnered both critical and popular acclaim, including recognition in Dance Magazine's "25 To Watch", representing dance for Bay Area Now 3 and contributions to Oxford University Press's When Men Dance; Choreographing Masculinities Across Borders. Collaborations with luminaries such as Kirstie Simson, Bobbi Jene Smith, and Alessio Silvestrin have shaped my artistic ethos and fueled my enduring curiosity.

I've had the privilege of serving as a guest artist at prestigious institutions worldwide, including Laban Trinity Conservatoire of Music and Dance, University of Michigan, Stanford University, and the San Francisco Conservatory of Dance, where I also held a residency and faculty position.

Currently, I maintain roles as a longstanding faculty member at Alonzo King Lines Ballet Training Program and as an Adjunct Professor for Lines Ballet BFA at Dominican University. In 2023, I lectured at Stanford University's Department of Theater & Performance Studies.

Balancing life, work, and family, I split my time between California and Hawaii.
