Book on the Way

I am so excited to share that I am publishing a book with Routledge on consent-forward, trauma-informed, psychologically safe movement pedagogy! This book is designed for dance teachers, as well as those who teach movement actors and stage combat in higher education settings.

I am well into the process of writing and am excited to share it with you- hopefully in early 2026. Stay tuned for updates.

Review for The Fantasticks at Island City Stage

I was really honored by the mention of my role as both ID and choreographer on this new version of The Fantasticks currently up at Island City Stage. (so much so, you can find that quote all over this website now….).

Momentum Stage is a Doris Duke Foundation Grantee!

Remember a few months ago when we were a finalist for the new Doris Duke Foundation’s Performing Arts and Technology Lab Cohort and Grant…

… and we are a winner!

We are excited to develop Totentanz, a new use of pose estimation and facial recognition technologies to decrease AI theft and training that occurs without choreographer and dancer consent. The project is led by Pedram Nimreezi (AI and technology), me (Dance), and Ed Talavera (Film). Learn more about the project here.

All the Folks that Need to Share my Silver Palm- Part 2

It is such a lovely honor to receive a Silver Palm, because it come from my colleagues! Congratulations to everyone making art in South Florida (it is not the easiest sometimes….), and especially to the other honorees listed here!

But I would be remiss if I didn’t thank the folks involved in these productions I am being honored for. My work only works when it supports the story and the actors can confidently embody it.

Reviews for "Have You Seen Boomer" at LakeHouseRanchdotPNG

It’s not often my work gets mentioned in reviews. It’s even more rare to have substantial comments on it appear. So I feel really excited that the 3 reviews published for the absurdist “Have You Boomer?” kicking of LakeHouseRanchdotPNG’s third season have not only included my name, but some great commentary as well.

I am so grateful to Karina Batchelor-Gomez for being a clear and generous collaborator and Brandon Urrutia for having me back at the Ranch.

And of course, Richard K. Weber and Bianca Utset, for making me look good while you do all the hard work of telling this story in such nuanced, embodied ways. Thank you.
