More about Books
While I do have a book of my coming out (see below), I’ve also contributed to a couple that were published recently.
My colleagues and friends Elaine and Heather have a great book for dance and theatre teachers on incorporating consent-forward practices into the classroom. I was honored that they wanted to interview me for it, and extra-honored that when the New York Public Library interviewed them about the book, one of my quotes (one of my favorite things to say!) was featured. See the interview and get Consent Practices for Performing Arts Education.
Besides being interviewed for that book, and Intimacy Coordinator’s Guidebook which came out earlier in 2024 (see post about it below), I wrote a chapter for the latest installment in Routledge’s Applied Theatre series, Applied Theatre and Gender Justice! This book offers case studies and tools for using theatre to make the world a better place. This just came out and is on sale until January 6, so get it now!
Talking about Choreography
I have an interview up with VoyageMIA talking about choreography. It’s one of the “Hidden Gems” on their website.

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.
