..By fusing multiple media with a committed collaborative process, we have come to embrace a form of dance-theater that is layered with multi-sensory stimulation, attention to detail and athleticism. I’m drawn to works that cultivate a rich, dense environment where the audience is enveloped by the experience – an environment experienced through the nose, eyes, skin, ears and mouth. While much of popular media aims to desensitize the observer through a barrage of images and ideas, I look to music, film and television for their ability to engage and, on occasion, to move, inform and transform in innovative ways. In this, a total theatrical experience – movement, text, video, music, costume, light, sound and set design – I set out to soften by way of sensation and introspection. My hope is that audiences leave each performance more tender and aware than before the encounter.
