DANCE RÉSUMÉ
SUMMARY
I am a dancer, writer, and designer investigating a lifelong curiosity about the ways process and context inform performance. I’m a graduate of the first class at USC’s Glorya Kaufman School of Dance, where I worked closely with William Forsythe for four years in developing research modules, installations and more. Currently, I’m transitioning from a career in arts administration to further my creative and movement research.
