Introducing your new favorite generalist!

I am a multidisciplinary performing artist and coach using prop manipulation, aerial dance, partner acro, character work and ensemble creation. My favorite things to perform with are aerial silks, LED hoops, fire fans, and other people. I have studied with the talented folks at NECCA, Paper Doll Militia, The Circus Project, A-Wol Dance Collective, and Denver Dance. I currently work as a character artist for Red Shoe Productions and perform aerial and partner acro with Toss Collective (Tempos Contemporary Circus) and Common Thread (Echo Theater Company). As a coach at Echo Theater Company, I delight in introducing absolute beginners to the world of aerial dance, as well as nerding out about fabric theory with more advanced students, all with a heavy focus on injury prevention. Plus, your teens will love me!

Past, Current and Future Projects

Some of my favorite projects have included Duality by Tempos Training Company, Flyco’s Open Air show and the Celtic Light Orchestra. These projects gave me the opportunity to collaboratively choreograph a 70 minute ensemble show, to dive into partner work, learn to set up and strike an outdoor show, and to create my own LED choreography with two other dancers for a sold-out community show. My biggest dream is to start my own circus company that salaries artists, but until then I will be happily residing in Portland (OR), performing, coaching, standing on people and attempting to teach my calico Korra how to jump through a hoop.
