A dance in a bar, I created and performed Asbestos Boots with drummer, designer and all around great guy Stuart Sproule, with special guests Ashley Whitehead + Diego Romero, for Brief Encounters Dec 22 @ The Railway Club
I'm teaching TSV's Working Class Dec 15, 17 + 19.
With filmmaker Aya Garcia, performer Ashley Whitehead and composer Paul Finlay, I made Small Itch, a short dance video. Described on the DanceLand website "as an early 21st Century feminist critique of 20th Century body art", Small Itch screens in Seattle in December at Velocity Dance Centre's Next Dance Cinema.
A woman investigates the nature of her machinery… As Artist In Residence at The Dance Centre, I present Itch with/for performer Ashley Whitehead: Apr 29 @ the Scotiabank Dance Centre and the Dancing on the Edge Festival Jul 11.
A professional dance artist, I am immersed in so much Body Talk; a specialized language of the studio that's practiced behind closed doors. However, much of what we talk about is universally applicable. This multi-media installation brings Body Talk out into the open. Body Talk was created for a Pecha Kucha at Dance in Vancouver Nov 2013 and presented at the Symposium for Embodied Artful Practices Jul 3, 2014. Next up is an installation at The Dance Centre, 2015.

DISCLAIMER: Although some of these tips are taken, sometimes word for word, from a specific teacher, I do not attribute credit for any of these. Dance's knowledge is passed down physically and orally and any one teacher's sayings are a mixture of those that teach/taught them (you can, however, find out about many dance artists all over this site, and on their sites, etc.).
I created Structure Tone with/for 20 students of Modus Operandi, Vancouver's contemporary dance training initiative directed by David Raymond and Tiffany Tregarthen of Out Innerspace Dance Theatre. It was presented at the Vancouver International Dance Festival Mar 13–15 and the M.O. Show, alongside works by 605 Collective and Out Innerspace, Jun 17 + 18.
