As a choreographer, creating dances is the way that I explain mysteries to myself. It serves as a three-dimensional model I use to investigate the questions I hold about the human condition. What I strive to make visible is the truth of my situation. I am dedicated to the honesty of human relationships in dealing with not only what brings people together, but also what drives them apart. My own struggles and passions, the patterns and compulsions of my mind and how they drive the dynamics of emotional interaction become the scaffold around which I create my work.
