Artist Statement

My dance creations are meditative performances that explore the space where soul and body are experienced as one. These dances follow the organic movements and natural rhythms of the living body, challenging beauty perceptions and revealing the connection of the female body with the natural world. I offer these metaphors in motion to the community as an invitation to be present in the body, in the here and now, free of shame and judgment.

in my dances the holistic experience of the body becomes present in the space through the exploration of breath, ground and flow. Movements, gestures, sounds, images, words and metaphors emerge from a process of sensing, feeling and experiencing the body in its totality.

This creative process is grounded in somatic shamanic healing practices that bring forth an organic movement language. My dance language reflects the biological rhythms and patterns present in the human body and in the planet. Bones, fluids, organs and tissues move in space in the same ways that water, wind, earth and air dance in the body of the planet.

These dance- creations hold sacred space for the viewers who witness the performance. Viewers are invited to participate in a life-affirming ritual. As they engage viewers become part of the collective body of the dance experience.
