I am an experimental dance artist originally from Alaska and currently based between Colorado and Berlin. As a queer white person, I orient my work to cultivate radical aliveness as an artist-activist practice. I am devoted to practicing anti-oppression methodologies in every sphere. Collaboration, questioning, and deep physicality are central to my work. Important collaborators include Makisig Akin, Eric Geiger, Karen Schaffman, stevie gunter, Ishmael Houston-Jones, Sara Shelton Mann, Rebecca Salzer, Nancy Stark Smith, and Nhu Nguyen among others. In 2022, I co-directed and co-curated, Think Gravity Dance Tank: Celebrating and Reckoning with Contact Improvisation and Performance with Karen Schaffman through which the documentary RE-COLLECT was made. In 2023, Makisig Akin and I co-founded the project-based dance company The Love Makers Company, which we co-direct. Our work has recently been produced by DOCK 11, Tanzfabrik Berlin Bühne, Tanztage Berlin, Movement Research at the Judson, Velocity Dance, OUTsider Fest, La Fayette Anticipations, What You See Festival, and more. Our work We Are (nothing) Everything is currently touring internationally. The Love Makers Company is a 2025 recipient of the National Dance Project Production Grant for the creation and touring of our new work Post-Failure Potentials. My teaching/facilitating is integrally tied to my creative research — I teach/facilitate contact improvisation, improvisation, experimental contemporary dance, composition, performance, and somatics internationally at festivals and institutions including at Guatemala Contact Improvisation Festival, Tanzfabrik Berlin Schule, ImPulsTanz, Tanzquartier, wcciJAM, Ukraine Contact Improvisation Festival, BeingTouch, Italy Contact Festival, SFD+I, Brown University, Bennington College. Hampshire College, Western Washington University, Florida State University, HZT Berlin, among others. I hold undergraduate degrees in Dance and Humanities from the University of Montana, an MFA in Dance Theatre from the University of California San Diego, and am trained in the Feldenkrais Method® under the guidance of Elizabeth Beringer. I currently serve as Assistant Professor of Dance at the University of Colorado Boulder.
