Dance and Art in the professional world

Ever since I can remember I have created. I have always pursued the urge to create, explore different mediums and subject matters, not restrict myself by logic. I enjoy exploring my own mind and I have always tried to let my imagination run on its own two legs, following it down paths that I would never normally go.

To bring dance and art together, to create a symbiotic relationship that reflects my love of both is no easy task. Thankfully I have people who share the same joy of collaborating as much as I do and together, we work to make my core ideas come to life.

I aim to be the catalyst of a love affair between fine art and dance and I create projects that combine art and dance as a way to share my love, experience and passion for dance with others. Dance has been with us all our lives and has had an impact on who we are and how we live. One’s relationship to their own physical body is vital to the quality of life. I can make people move, be it physically or emotionally through performing, choreographing and teaching. 

I want to share my love of broken, left behind things, re-purposing items, drawings and lost objects into art to give them new life.

My work is fueled by the fact that imagination is boundless and can help us to discover new truths.

 

My ideals for creating, experiencing and

appreciating movement and art with others

Creating:

  • Expressing with one’s own body or in other artistic ways

  • Creating work of our own for others to experience through seeing

  • Creating possibilities for others to be creative with their bodies or in other artistic ways

Experiencing:

  • Overcoming the fear of being watched

  • Overcoming the fear of sharing your work

  • Feeling the body moving and the connection between emotions and the body

  • Dancing is fun and feels good! Creating art is expressive and fun!

  • Physical exhaustion and being actively engaged with one’s body

  • Art block and being ok with not liking what you have created.

  • Dance can be experienced both through moving or by seeing

Appreciating:

  • Watching others enjoy movement or enjoy other’s work

  •  Everyone moves or creates differently

  • Learning how to analyze, critique and learn from dance or art

  • Understanding the importance of dance and art as part of our culture and history

  • Enjoying the experience of dance or art
