“THE DANCER OF THE FUTURE WILL BE ONE WHOSE SOUL AND BODY HAVE GROWN SO HARMONIOUSLY TOGETHER THAT THE NATURAL LANGUAGE OF THAT SOUL WILL HAVE BECOME THE MOVEMENT OF THE BODY.”

I want to inspire new audiences, reengage viewers who are familiar with contemporary dance, motivate different dance artists to trust in their skills and engage them to practice and create dance for each and everyone."
