CHOREOGRAPHY

Professional Documents
This page contains my professional documents, including my Resume, CV, Teaching Philosophy, and Artist Statement to provide insight into my professional career as a dance educator and creator.
As a current MFA in Modern Dance Candidate at the University of Utah, much of my work is centered on research surrounding the role of the body in understanding the self. Below, you will also find my research documents, including my Literature Review and Thesis Proposal Presentation, which provide the theoretical framework guiding my creative and scholarly practice.
Literature Review
This preliminary literature review was conducted in fulfillment of my MFA in Modern Dance at the University of Utah. It explores how centering the body in physical, emotional, and cultural contexts can deepen our understanding of selfhood and identity, particularly through the lens of trans and gender non-conforming experiences, by engaging with theories of embodiment, liminality, and decolonial pedagogy within dance.
Thesis Proposal Presentation
This presentation served as my proposal for the MFA Thesis Research, which was approved by my Committee Members to move into candidacy. This proposal combines my preliminary literature review with findings from my movement generation process to evaluate the role of the body in understanding the self.
