Solo Work:
Premature Release for P and N-tracing a circular path that my life has
taken.
Group Work: Mirror Phase and Experimental Underlay: an exploration
of rave movement and electronic music.

"Knitting
Bodies." This work was highly influenced by the idea of ambiguity.
This was a concept that Austin Lynch and I shared, in fact, it was all
that we shared with each other as a guide for our creative processes.
We worked entirely seperately, he in the creation of the video, and I
in the creation of the improvisational structure. I played with the idea
of ambiguity in terms of the audience's interpretive process in regarding
the work.

"
White Girl with Butter." I began working on this solo from a place
of amorphous intention and great frustration. I knew a multitude of ideas
in my head wanted to find a muscular home, but I was having difficulty
trusting that my body would effectively convey the experiences which were
so clear in my mind. For this solo, I found that when I stopped trying
to reconcile the two realms of the choreographic philosophy, and just
went into the studio to dance, the realms fused. My body intuitively rendered
the thoughts into experience. What emerged were moving ideas.

"A
Palpable Silence (Soil)." A visitation-a convergence of those milling
about above the soil and those below; inside the earth and on the top-their
meeting place-where the only sound is silence so thick it sits in the
palm of your hand. The crossings: the places where beach meets water,
where field meets forest, where soil meets air-the places where the spirits
of the living and the spirits of the past visit each other. A reunion
of student and teacher-these are places of learning-places of surrendence,
an allowance to enter to thirve in the Palpable Silence; a meeting at
the Soil. To pay respects, to confess fears and joys, and to swim inside
the soundlessness of their wisdom.
