I’m creating an entirely new style of art.

Short version? I dance paint onto the canvas.

My “Art Moves” dance style combines my history and love of performance and dance with my career and love of visual arts, breaking barriers of what is typically seen as separate and celebrates multiple senses in one mesmerizing dance art.

Those who experience this work get to take it in multiple ways: seeing the dance in person, listening to the music I’ve specifically chosen and gotten permission to dance to, watching the filmed performance after, and viewing the finished art after the song is complete. 

I combine planned choreography upon studying the song with improvised moves inspired by the themes, lyrics, and musicality of the song. Each color I choose to be in the painting specifically reflects an emotion or theme that I receive from the song and add them into specific moments of my dance. This is a fully thought out project, but I intentionally leave space for myself to react and respond to the music in the moment of the performance, encouraging those who experience it to leave space for themselves and break barriers as well.
