Dancer | Choreographer | Composer | Biography | Contact

Whether working solo or collaborating with other exceptional artists to produce quality work, I believe in a system which expands our artistic boundaries and enriches enthused and enlightened audiences. Whatever media I work in, be they dance, music, singing, composition, choreography, coaching, directing, web-design, stage combat, or visual art, I strive to enrich my deep knowledge of traditional forms with new and cutting-edge technology and sensibilities to produce quality results.
