In my modern and ballet technique, improvisation, and composition courses, I approach movement from physical, intellectual, and sensory perspectives. I believe that creative innovations in dance materialize from the rigorous exploration of physical potential. Focusing on effort, weight, articulation, direction, and locomotion, I engage dancers in concepts of the mind/body connection and in performance skills, tackling different ways of performing a single movement. Varying the structure of my classes, I present material physically, theoretically, and historically. I engage my students so that they develop the skills and the personal voice necessary to prepare them for professional careers as informed dance artists.
