Artistic statement

I believe that artistry is not one sided, you must have many interests and inspirations in order to create. Blending together bits and pieces of the world around me as well as my own personal interests, to me dance is a melting pot for all art genres. As a dancer, I am interested in the extremes the body can go to. How far can you physically push your body while still being as precise as possible? Is it possible to use your technique to the fullest potential while simultaneously letting go of everything and just moving? As a choreographer I am most inspired by visual art. I am interested in the relationship between the two art forms; how can they be related, how can they bounce off of one another, how can they interpret each other? While creating I aim to blend these two sides of myself into one by combining these questions. How can the extremes of the body mirror the precision of a painting? How can released movement parallel abstract art?
