Choreographer
I am a choreographer - I make dreams into motion. Indigenous contemporary dance to me is about the dreams, the determination, and the creativity of individuals who carry the ancient wisdoms of their communities and the land. So, I recruit Native dancers, composers, musicians, photographers, filmmakers, costume/set/prop designers, lighting designers, to make performances that are rooted in unique intertribal world views. We present themes of ecology that are timely and relevant to all beings.
