Deep End

Deep END investigates how movement can accumulate and evolve through set rounds and repetition, creating waves of energy. The piece dives directly into the conflict between the dancer and the accumulation of movement. A conflict the dancer has to process in real-time, moment to moment. The accumulation showcases the dichotomy of opposing sensations in the body to expose an equally powerful internal conflict.

Drowning in chaos, pain, fear and surrounded by constraint we rally to let go of what we do not need in order to become the best version of ourselves.

Nothing worthwhile in life comes easily, so the structures that the dancers endure in this work shouldn't either. This demands the dancers to ride these waves or the piece becomes too physically demanding. Sensations will come and they will pass. How will we all ride the wave?

My research comes directly from my trust in the body and investigating how bodily experiences are deeply embedded on a cellular level. The movement's inspiration began with the ocean and a year of spiritual discovery and transformation. I am interested in researching what it means to explore and create a primal movement aesthetic on a female body in an era that is as further away from self than we’ve ever been before.
