Welcome! I’m a dance artist based on Abenaki lands in N’Dakinna/New Hampshire. This site will tell you about my work and the folks who make it possible.

Clear Creek (trailer, 2019), a dance film collaboration with Kate Elias and Tori Lawrence.
A dust storm, a shoot out and endless horizons. Two women dance through iconic western images and into something new: a moving portrait of home, land and memory as illuminated by the voices of a rural Wyoming community.
Our work is made possible with support from Ucross Foundation, Dance Films Association, Coginchaug Valley Education Foundation and New England Foundation for the Arts.
