Floating Falling Flying...a dance film
This film is a moment of escape; from the strict rules of ballet, from gender expectations and weight expectations, from the abuses and rigidity of the dance studio. It is a moment of oscillating between life and another choice, a physical representation of the internal madness that everyone who is unable to conform to the stifling construct of the ballet world experiences in a truly visceral manner.

G4 and G5
Fragmentary Evidence; Detritus
This film serves as the culmination of my scholarly and artistic output at Goddard. It is intended to illustrate, using dance film as the medium, the fractures that metastasize within an entire dance community when abuse occurs, is witnessed, and is then internalized and normalized. I hope that I have created a project that invokes in its audience a visceral recognition of the chaos that lives within those of us who have these lived experiences; as victim, as perpetrator, as witness.
