As co-founder of Avoir Motion Dance Project, I aim to dedicated to preserving the versatility of classical dance forms while challenging their traditional inaccessibility. AMDP celebrates the human juxtaposition of rural and urban, gritty and sophisticated, nature and industry. I believe that dance is not simply an event to see -- “voir” -- but an experience to have -- “avoir”.As a choreographer and performer for AMDP, I choreograph and performer classical and contemporary dance works for the site-specific film project, "This Land". Notable screenings at Nimbus Dance Works, Spark Film Festival (Audience Choice Award), and 92nd Street Y’s Mobile Film Festival.
