RECENT WORKS
YOUNG CHOREOGRAPHERS FESTIVAL - GUEST ALUMNI
Refraction
A contemporary ballet work for
3 men & 2 women.
The definition of the word refraction is the bending of light or sound as it passes through something such as a wall or window. This was the driving force behind the choreography for this work.
CDCFEST
Fragmented
A contemporary work for
2 women & 2 men.
The concept was inspired by what it's like to be involved in a conversation with a large group of people. People may talk over one another, some interrupt occasionally while others sit in silence. Each movement in my work was inspired by different conversational dynamics.
CHOREOGRAPHY SHOWCASE
Sometimes I wonder:wander
A contemporary ballet work for
3 women & 2 men.
It was inspired by the questions we ask in the quiet moments, the paths we take when we don't yet have the answers. & the beauty of searching without certainty.
