My research begins from a question of habit. Why do certain movement pathways, spatial choices, timing structures recur for me? Do I need to override them? I set up systematic choreographic experiments which provide me with a deeper awareness of these subconscious choices.
These investigations result in constantly evolving choreographic work. As the nature of the experiments change, the product also changes. It is stabilized in its instability, however, by the constancy found in the relationships between a certain set of bodies continuing to iterate themselves over time. The result speaks broadly to interpersonal relationships.
My work does not assume any known structures of dance presentation. It questions use of time, body in performance, body in practice, documentation, space ... a constantly growing list. It challenges me, it challenges the performers, it challenges the viewer on the junction of habit, awareness, and expectation.
