I am interested in interdisciplinary collaborations that employ dance and embodied creativity to discover new perspectives and ways of problem-solving.  I view dance as a method and lens for responding to issues, concerns, and priorities that exist in disciplines outside of dance's scope, and I have found transdisciplinary partnerships to be an exciting and productive way to generate new habits of mind, novel processes, and embodied knowledge for all involved.  

I am currently advancing a project called the Failure Collective, which is an intergenerational, transdisciplinary workshop focused on creativity.  When we shed the success/failure paradigm, creativity becomes possible.  We are most free to explore potentially "useless," "bad," or "failed" processes or ideas when we are free of the imperative to solve a problem.  These workshops provide methods for creating new mindsets by embracing play, impossible problems, and seemingly useless skills.
