one born bad (2007)

created and performed in my basement.
a distillation of violence and intimacy.

Tiny Town (2006)

Tiny Town looks at how physical environment shapes identity.
from weather to wal-marts to horizon line to property lines.
inspired by fly-over states.

 

 

Demolition Boy (2009)

a multimedia solo questioning what it means - and feels like - to be alone onstage.   Demolition Boy debates the usefulness of a muse and dance as a source of self-disgust.   it seeks guidance from Gilbert & George but displays an identification with Tyra Banks.   it subjects the artist to judgement and failure. 

an in-progress excerpt of copperhead, measuring the chop, was presented february 22-23, 2008, also at the southern theater.

 

Cold Comfort (2004)

an evening-length, dance/performance work
set in antarctica.   ice, isolation, penguin envy.   6 performers.

 

 

 

Who are you to Steven? (2005)

a solo danced dripping wet,
dogged by injury and insult.

 

 

 

 

FOXHOLE (2000)

a girl-gang phantasmagoria.
west side story meets carrie.
