about

    I begin with a set of questions, mostly because I have had a confusing relationship with language.
    In the fourth grade, I received detention because I refused to pronounce “caribou” in the proper
    way as instructed by my teacher. With these kinds of memories I wonder: how might movement
    and voice connect through breath? How are our bodies colonized, daily? I begin with these questions,
    which stem from an interest in how the language we speak and write form our everyday understanding
    of the body. I hope to make visible the language that is in circulation, which can frame how we talk
    about, train and interpret our bodies. My performances stress alternate uses of the voice, inefficient
    uses of breath, and the movement of ordeal.
