Current Projects
Research and Creation period for “Qualities”
In March of this year I began a trio research project with the wonderful dancers Demetris Charalambous, Cayleeen Del Rosario and Kalliope Piersol.
Supported by a Tisch Faculty Dean”s Grant this project researches how the 3 dancers move incrementally between various contrasting qualities taking on the character of one living organism, with separate parts, but moving as one. Check back her for updates on open rehearsals and showings over the coming months.
From A – Z
For the past six years, I have a been collaborating with Luis Lara Malvacías on From A – Z, a project to create a series of highly structured improvisational duets, that have been performed in Amsterdam, Florence, Barcelona and Berlin, as well at La Mama in New York, and REDCAT and Electric Lodge in Los Angeles.
