dance & performance
Many of my performances have come and gone in the excitement of the moment, without any photo or video that I have access to. Below, you'll see glimpses of the performances we do have some records of.

Summer Solstice
Celo, North Carolina
This performance grew out of a collective excitement to honor the summer solstice and to co-create as a group. We used a collective approach to creating the performance, incorporating a range of excitements, including mask-making, robes, singing original songs, fire, flowers, and a menstruating moon.

HoneyLa Community Art Space
Celo, North Carolina
This piece grew out of a desire to express interconnectedness, joyfulness, being able to rely on one's community. We mirrored, metaphorically, seeds' growth into flowering plants. The dance had two showings in April 2018. I danced it with Tayloranne Finch and Jes Hadasah Michaels, and we all, as well as Persephone Kinsey and Shelby Hodge, assisted in choreographing the dance together.
Solar Eclipse
August 2018
South Toe River
Celo, North Carolina
Persephone Kinsey and I did a dance-photoshoot-metaphor-performance on the day of the solar eclipse. Shelby Hodge helped with our make-up and was our photographer.
Lights On
July 2017
Galaxy Arts Gallery
Burnsville, North Carolina
This musical menagerie of puppetry, performers, and incredible original music blended talents of many folks, led in a collaborative-theatre method by Tayloranne Finch, who played Blush the Clown, who climbs a ladder to the moon. I was the puppeteer for the moon.
