Choreographic Projects

Baby Get Back (2024)

This improvisational performance was developed and performed in collaboration with Shannon Whitworth and Woody Platt at the Porter Center for the Arts on the campus of Brevard College in Brevard, North Carolina.

SPARK BIRD (2021)

Commissioned by Jacksonville Dance Theatre, this solo was created in collaboration with in-demand banjo player Bennett Sullivan. Spark Bird explores with child-like wonder, the moment when the first fireflies begin to emerge from the dew on a humid summer evening.

SHE WAS HERE (2018)

Commissioned by Jacksonville Dance Theatre and premiered at the Florida Theatre, She Was Here was created as a way for the choreographer to uncover and explore how the women in her life suppressed, enabled, and enhanced the development of her true voice.

Peace is for Enemies (2016)

Before the premiere of Peace is for Enemies, audience members received spent shell casings from AR-15 and AK-47 rifles, each marked with the word “FREEDOM?” in spray paint. Presented within an art exhibit and solo performance curated by Jacksonville Dance Theatre, the work investigates the choreographer’s conflict between freedom and regulation, while engaging questions of death, entitlement, and power in relation to gun control, mass shootings, and police brutality.

Flesh LIGHT (2015)

First commissioned by Florida State College at Jacksonville and then restaged on Jacksonville Dance Theatre, Flesh Light is a celebration of the power manifested in a woman’s body and a discussion in how this power is feared and discarded both by the woman in her body and society as a whole.

Entanglement (2015)

Inspired by a dream and commissioned by Jacksonville Dance Theatre, this duet explores connection at the point before physical connection, touch, contact, and that space can be, in some ways, more exciting and magical. In collaboration with Kim Collins.

This is how i make you love me (2013)

Approval, attention and power are all explored, within the context of relationship, in this playful trio commissioned by Jacksonville Dance Theatre.

G Spot Tornado (2012)

Commissioned by the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra, G Spot Tornado was choreographed to physicalize Frank Zappa’s iconic score by the same name. The performance works to desexualize the relationship between a man and a woman and brings to the surface the suggestion of equality despite gender.

How to (dis) Assemble a Ninjadoll (2012)

Originally choreographed as the culmination of an MFA in choreography degree on the undergraduate students at Jacksonville University and later reset (current video) on Jacksonville Dance Theatre. This group work was a way for the choreographer to process her grief and dissect how to let go.
