Choreographer’s Statement

My choreographic aesthetic is eclectic, spanning themes of my French roots, overseas travels, and the intercultural lifestyle of New York City, where I live. My interdisciplinary dance practice, including Jazz and Afro-American dance genres, widened my movement vocabulary while my thoroughgoing involvement with the Graham technique and choreography anchors and merges my experiences. In search of new discoveries, my movement style and process demand physical research. I believe there is a common field of energy that connects all human beings and that surpasses cultural boundaries. Inspired by each dancer’s cultural background and “ancestral memories,” I like to explore movement excavation and compose dances by distilling movement to its purest, simplest, and deepest way of expression.
My goal is to transform viewers into “feelers” and take them on a journey to feel with their bodies and minds.
