In the Fall of 2019, I set out on a journey to define my own "personal and instinctive" movement style. I analyzed my own movement habits and impulses, searching for explanations of why each of them exist in my body as such. My research was summarized in what became my first fully-produced work: a self-performed and choreographed solo piece titled "Handprints." The work premiered in November 2019 at Ball State University, and was chosen to be performed again at the American College Dance Association South Conference in March 2020.

​

In the Spring 2020 semester, I applied similar research methods to a group of six dancers with diverse movement histories. The piece from this half of the project, "Individuals Indivisible," premiered on March 12th, 2020. My research was most recently presented in its entirety at the 2020 Ball State University Student Symposium. On this page, you can view the two choreographic works, poster presentation, and archive of written materials.
