Choreography

In addition to my acting work, I also choreograph. At Kenyon College, I was a dance minor, and took Choreography II in addition to several other dance classes. My approach to choreography is the the world of dance-theatre. It views text, spoken word, symbolism, improvisation, and emotional response as the basis for movement to capture a portion of humanity. Some production stills and videos of my work are below.
