In 2006 I moved with my husband to Brooklyn, NY. I quickly joined forces with an old Albuquerque acquaintance to continue researching collaboration in dance-making. We performed works in progress at Movement Research's Open Studios and Gowanus' Spoke the Hub. Then, we toured 4 versions of an evening's work, Cabin Fever, to Portland Oregon's Conduit Dance, the University of New Mexico, the Philly Fringe Festival and finally back to NYC at Cunningham Studio. We presented an improvisational reflection of Cabin (2 years in the making) as part of Bushwick's SITE Festival at Chez Bushwick and most recently presented work at The Tank's 3rd Generation Festival.

In NYC, I have also had the pleasure of dancing with Heather McCardle, Scott Lyons and ConLab.

This past summer, of 2009, I began formulating ideas for a new dance work while taking Sarah Michelson's MELT choreography workshop. The new work, for 4 dancers, is now in process.

From 2000 - 2006, I lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico where I received my MFA in Dance and 500-hr. Yoga teaching certification. Over those 6 years in the beautiful harsh desert, I danced with Bill Evans, Jennifer Predock-Linnel, Donna Jewell and Esther Balfe. I also co-founded The PutAttention Collective, a performance based collaboration between myself and 4 other female dance artists. Over 2 years we actively researched the nature of collaboration and the unification of our 5 colliding visions. The Collective received a grant from the Place Program at UNM to create a site specific dance work, Imposters, that interacted with Albuquerque's community, presented at ReadyMade Dance Theater. They also performed an evening length work, Keeping Time, at Q-Staff Theater in Albuquerque.
