I am a dancer, choreographer, video editor and budding interactive media programmer teaching at Bates College in Lewiston, ME. I owe a lot to Marlon Barrios Solano.

I make:
-Live media rich dance performances (my favorite!)
-Documentaries about the artistic process of choreographers (working on one now about dance and environmentalism)
-Videodances (working on a proposal now with Vanessa Justice)
-I have been experimenting a lot with dances in collaboration with scientists
-Dance Documentation
-I am a dancer and I love to perform in choreographed and improvised work.  I have performed in the work of Risa Jaroslow, Karl Rogers, Marlon Barrios Solano, Paul Singh, and Vanessa Justice.
