My goal is to provide dancers with a supportive and challenging environment that is responsive to multiple learning styles, emphasizes learning through the arts, and integrates critical thinking.. I am interested in maintaining the artist’s agency and empowering the individual.. I attempt to make the environment a safe, supportive environment where artists can experiment with their individual voices through movement. I value a rigorous approach to the recognition of connections between one’s own life and the larger society, a willingness to embrace paradox and ambiguity without rushing to conclusions and the ability to recognize multiple perspectives. I emphasize individual style, experimentation, risk-taking, interdisciplinary approaches, and the ability to draw from oneself the material for creating in the hopes of making new and essential connections. My goal by the end of a semester is for students to cultivate a healthy respect and awareness for the body’s ability to communicate ideas.
