Movement and Form

Inspiration

Dancing, and creating it, is a catharsis. It is a story. It has a beginning, an end, and always something in the middle. 


The middle space is the transition space, the space where movement lives. I see movement in the way wind whirls sand on desert dunes. In the way snow falls from the sky and water cuts rivers through mountains. These transitions are endless - timeless - and yet they tell us the time.  They have a rhythm: seasons, weather, natural disasters. Those rhythms tell a story. Those rhythms are movement. 


All movement tells a story. All movement has a beginning, end, and a middle. And it is my goal as a dance maker to craft these stories with the human body. 


Since 2013 I have created works for Richmond Ballet I & II, Wylliams/Henry CDC and Company E. In addition to those projects, I collaborate with Vanessa Owen to produce contemporary dance works for our project-oriented company, Stewart/Owen Dance.
