About me: "The collaborative rock quartet "Salvage" for CoLab Dance shattered these formal values, embracing quasi-competitive, body-lashing anarchy to great effect."

CoLab is a collective effort of artists, dancers, actors, poets, and dreamers. We are inspired by shadows, conversations, dreams, and ambitions. We come together to motivate and create. We are ever evolving and welcoming ideas for collaboration and outlets for expression.
