About Me

I'm a dancer, choreographer, and dance and movement facilitator. I've been training in contemporary dance since my youth and working professionally in the dance world for two decades. Across that time my practice has come to orient itself around one broad idea: movement as a doorway through which people can reach what matters to them most.

That conviction shapes the range of work I take on. In my studio work, I perform in other artists' projects, choreograph my own pieces, and collaborate with other artists—most recently the Dance Victoria grant-supported solo piece Alchemy and the collaboration Pieces Of. I also work as a choreographic facilitator, guiding collaborative processes where the choreography emerges from all of the dancers rather than being handed down to them. I'm drawn to work that asks people to move from their most authentic place and to build something together. My collaborations with the Visible Bodies Collective over the years, which grew out of earlier work with Lindsay Delaronde, embody this vision. My newest passion is contact improvisation, and I continue to weave lessons from training in this style into both my dance and therapeutic work.

I'm based in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island, and open to collaboration, commissions, and facilitation work. You can find out more about my therapeutic practice at Roy Creek Psychotherapy.
