As a dance artist, educator and scholar working across the fields of disability studies, dance studies and performance studies, I seek to build supportive classrooms that value the minds, bodies, and experiences of each student. My teaching practice, whether in a studio class, a small discussion or a large lecture, is deeply rooted in the development of disability culture and aesthetics. These basic tenets constitute the foundation of every class I teach. In practice, this looks like providing essential access tools as a baseline for every student in my classroom, regularly checking in about the efficacy of these tools, and consistently offering multiple ways for students to engage with content. My approach is rooted in disability dance techniques that center the experience and embodiment of each student. This is not a codified technique, but instead an emergent set of movement strategies and values based on the needs of the bodyminds in the space. 

I am available for workshops, master classes, and other opportunities.
