As a seeker of Truth and a student of Eastern mysticism, philosophy, and emergent neuro and quantum science, I am interested in understanding the nature of self and our interconnection with the world around us. Quantum physicists are beginning to discover that our perception of the world and the world itself are more interlinked than we ever anticipated. As seen in the particle/wave phenomenon, it is impossible to separate the world outside from the consciousness that perceives it. This confirms what yogis have known for thousands of years: we are not separated from the world around us but instead unified by an unfathomable quantum field of intelligence, luminosity, and awareness. As a choreographer, I utilize my yogic, meditative, and intuitive study to guide myself and my collaborators into a state of surrender, trust, and deep listening. Allowing the stories born within the groups exchange to emerge organically, in the same way our normal lives take shape. In this way, the piece becomes all of ours, a shared responsibility and message specifically defined and refined by the artists taking part. Reflecting our joyful and woeful expierences and the myriad of responses we consciously and/or subconsciously make, the pieces I facilitate are an experiment on sentience, exploring the consciousness that connects us all. I hope artists and audience members leave my work feeling more in tune with themselves, trusting in their intuition, and unified with the world around them.
