“Art is not what you see, but what you make others see”
- Edgar Degas
Artist Statement
I find myself drawn to art, every day. It is one of the most important means of sharing existence with those around you, and that is incredibly important in order to foster connection between humans in our society. I make art in order to put a piece of myself out into the world, automatically bringing people closer to me, as they now hold a sliver of who I am. My goal with dance and choreography is to evoke emotions in not only performers but in audience members as well. Dance has the beautiful ability of physicalizing ideas, theories, feelings, and stories–granting me an outlet to have an impact on the smallest or largest of crowds.
