I have a love for curating experiences in dance theatre for all those involved. I am experimenting with a variety of interludes of movement within the world we are creating. Though with a hesitancy to change, we are in a warp of a constant blossom. A love for duet making has been creating shared experiences. I love connection, I love love.
