Steeped

Steeped embodies the metaphor of a tea bag to explore the social norms women must navigate when expressing themselves in various settings. The dancers reflect on what it means to be contained in their authenticity versus when they can expand and flourish, much like tea leaves unfurling in water; this expansion often occurs in the presence of trusted female relationships.

Premiered August 2024 at Onstage 360° at The Foundry, Cambridge, MA

Save Your Apologies Until The End

This performance was developed through an independent study facilitated by Dance Lecturer Erika Pujič. I choreographed the piece in response to society’s expectation for women to always apologize when taking up space or expressing an opinion. Utilizing artistic research and personal and shared experiences with my cast, Save Your Apologies Until The End reevaluates and remodels the commonality of the phrase “I’m sorry.”

Premiered March 2024 at the Tang Teaching Museum’s Wachenheim Gallery. 

It Lasts Longer

It Lasts Longer is a six-minute piece choreographed as a final project for my Choreography II class. The piece explores the theme of community rooted in collective chaos and dysfunction.

The piece premiered in November of 2022 at Skidmore College’s Dance Theater and was invited to perform again in Skidmore Dance Department’s Celebration Weekend Concert in October 2023.
