Performance Artist
—
I am a classically trained dancer working across movement, film, photography, audio, and text, unfolding through performance, participatory formats, and collaborative processes. Across these mediums, I explore how humans relate within ecological and technological systems. I hold a Master’s in Fine Art from Falmouth University, a French State Diploma in the Pedagogy of Classical Dance from the National Center of Dance, and a teaching certification from American Ballet Theatre’s National Training Curriculum.
I trained at American Ballet Theatre’s Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School, graduating in 2007, and began my professional career with ABT, followed by Pennsylvania Ballet. I later joined Leipzig Ballet in 2010, where I was named Dancer of the Year in 2013 by Tanz Das Jahrbuch, and Lyon Opera Ballet in 2015.
Over the years, I’ve collaborated with choreographers including William Forsythe, Lucinda Childs, Merce Cunningham, Jiří Kylián, Pina Bausch, Ohad Naharin, and Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker.
My classical foundation informs my contemporary, improvisational, and interdisciplinary practice.
Moving with
More-than-Human
Worlds
My work is grounded in ecological inquiry, asking how movement and embodiment can shift human perspectives.
Movement, for me, is a way of being and a way of listening to the continuous unfolding of the world. My movement research treats the body as both material and medium, examining how embodiment reveals the continuity of life. I understand embodiment as something accessed through improvisational practice — a method for generating authentic movement and direct utterances from the subconscious, where choreography becomes something that happens through the human rather than by the human.
I question how we might move into a posthuman future and where human loyalties lie. Posthumanism, for me, is not a future without humans but a reorientation: one in which anthropocentrism is decentered, and human entanglement is acknowledged. I am guided by what constitutes the more-than-human, and how shifting beyond human-centered hierarchies reshapes ways of knowing and relating. This includes embracing the blurred lines between reality and imagination.
