These days, my research, curiosities and explorations include
new pageantry | what the edges of human knowledge feel like | things that dangle
corrugation | rowdy duets | anti-historical reenactments | lipsynching | great blue herons
the institute for folding
a cardboard choreography of human knowledge, neglect and wonder
The Institute for Folding is an interdisciplinary dance work in layers, literally. Through movement, language, live sound and 30 sheets of cardboard, the work unpeels our human relationship to knowledge—our drive for scientific understanding, the ebb and flow of our ignorance, and our current disregard for what has been discovered.

forecasts and findings
a new work for grain, bodies, burlap and sound.
The grain is sown, gathered and stored. It’s cataloged and cared for. The grain is what we have come to know. And it will be what feeds us. But there is weather on the horizon. And scarcity at hand.
