Outside Influences:
I have been a professional Modern dancer and Circus Performer for 12 years. Teachers and mentors that I have worked with that have influenced my personal style and technique include Pina Bausch, Deborah Hay, Juliette Mapp, Guido Tuveri, Jacques Heim, and Mark Morris. My Yoga practice is heavily informed by my proficiency in Graham, Limon, and Release techniques as well as Feldenkrais, and Alexander. I am also a trained aerialist and enjoy including core and upper body strengthening techniques involving static trapeze and aerial silk in my practice. A performance resume is available upon request.
