Like Shifting Shadows (2012-13)
A Series of Immaterial Duets (2014)
1. Gripped: A quirky, dark piece that looks at the effects of OCD, particularly the dichotomy of being in complete control while being completely out of control.
2. A Series of Immaterial Duets: Five dances for two that aren't really about anything. Except movement!
3. Out of Context: A fun and light piece that uses popular love songs of the 1930's, pin up poses, and the female plight of trying to conform to a desired image by society to completely disguise the true meaning of the work
4. Like Shifting Shadows: A thrilling and inspiring piece that relies on the use of lamps both as a prop and a source of light for the dancers.
5. To This Well: A moving and inspiring piece about spiritual drought, recovery, and revival. Think desert, mirages, and lots of water! Yes real water...
6. What Was... What Wasn't... What Is...: What if one day we wake up and our world is turned upside down? This work explores the journey of returning to a state in which we can move forward again when we lose something important and vital to our lives.
7. She stood at the door and knocked.: A consecutive series of solos the explore our human response to the closed opportunities in our lives. The work uses scenic design (a set of doors) to represent the opportunities lost or trying to be gained.
