creative statement
Art builds our capacity for imagination.
​
​
Our capacity for imagination changes the world.
​
​
I am interested in creating work that stretches people’s ability to imagine and dream. In that space the performer and witness move toward a personal and collective liberation from external and internal oppressions.
