ARTIST STATEMENT
In my artistic work, I strive to explore how choice and agency deepen the understanding of connection and relationship. Movement is a channel for exploration. To explore the choices we make. To explore how we make these choices. To explore what makes us excited, makes us feel. As humans, we crave connection, whether this be to ourselves, to others, to a feeling. I create movement to allow for the audience to dive deeper into their own thoughts, evoked by a visual or reaction. My work is minimal and communicative in order to reach others in their own thoughts and curiosities. Improvisation is a tool that interests me immensely in creating and allows for questions to be answered/created/challenged live through movement. The opportunity to witness choice-making in movement can allow for us to be in tune with how we connect to the world through the agency we give ourselves. I hope to deepen the way in which we dive into our thoughts with work that speaks to the fluctuation of choice we may seek.
