Dance Films
Created for the 4th annual 7-Day Dance Festival in August 2020. This piece was conceived, choreographed, filmed, and edited in just one week. Featuring vernacular jazz, lindy hop, and tap dance choreography.
A film by Bellingham Repertory Dance that premiered at the Firehouse Arts and Events Center in April 2019. It is designed to add depth and texture to visual elements, and give the viewer a rich experience of the dancers themselves.
This dance is a mess. It is a storm. It is a chaos. The dancers live in the mess, to create their own storm so that they might love it from the inside.
Movement for this piece was created by members of Bellingham Repertory Dance and premiered in May 2015 at the Firehouse Arts and Events Center.
7-Day Dance Festival
In 2017, I co-founded the 7-Day Dance Festival (7DDF) with Bellingham Repertory Dance. This annual event is open to dancers of all experience levels and includes a week of classes, workshops, and rehearsals, culminating in public performances. In order to meet COVID-19 health and safety guidelines, the 2020 festival shifted to an online format. 34 dancers created 17 new dance films and tuned in from all over Washington state as well as California, Vermont, and even Hong Kong! Below is the full 7DDF 2020 digital performance.
