My work is process-driven and rooted in embodied practice, particularly through the influence of Butoh dance. This practice responds to the environment and place while non-consciously unpacking personal histories stored in the body. In these moments, personal experiences of violence collide with the environmental, creating a deeply layered dialogue. After some years of retreat public performance and practicing of "private performances with the earth," (The basis of a continuing series of video and sound based work) this is the first time I have performed in this new modality for a human audience.
