I live on the unceded territories of the Skwxwú7mesh, Səl̓ílwətaɬ and xʷməθkwəy̓əm Nations (aka Vancouver). I trained at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, and hold a PhD from Simon Fraser University. I have performed, choreographed, taught, written for, and collaborated with many artists, companies and universities across Canada and Europe.

Working at the intersection of movement, language, and philosophy, I am rooted in contemporary dance, but equally informed by poetic inquiry, political thought, and affective experience. My embodied practice generates performances and written texts that are both somatic and conceptual - forms of knowledge that emerge from the body and return to it.

Within all of my work I invite us to return to our bodies - momentarily, differently, anew – challenging how we might move and relate to one another in a more expansive and ethical reality. I am drawn to what is unruly, porous, or in excess: noise, rupture, breath, stillness. I experiment with forms that resist closure and certainty, aiming instead to create openings - places where readers, viewers, and movers can encounter their own embodied knowledge and continual becoming.

As a cultural worker, I have worked across a variety of arts organizations managing a range of activities including programming, grant writing, strategic planning, database management, and coordination and communications. My critical writing has been published in journals and books, as well as extending to creative pieces for multiple artists and companies, as a means for documenting artists’ works, processes, and conversations, and further providing access tools for understanding dance.
