Things That Survived The Winter 
2017

“Things That Survived The Winter” (TTSTW) is a poem, a concept, an aspiration, and an evolutionary performance collaboration. Its' unique narrative dramaturgy examines personal storytelling in context with larger patterns found in nature, the self, and society. Developed from an initial collaboration between the band Rexedog and Sarah Muehlbauer, the soundtrack and poetic backbone give structure to a series of performances and work within the community that creates new narratives around personal sovereignty, responsibility, illness, and the natural world.

Specter Animalia

​Graduate Thesis

​I spent much of my second year at Tyler School of Art investigating dyed and sewn plastics in performance---with the material as a metaphor for human desire to transform nature and to go beyond it's "limited" organic form. Humans are messy and dark and full of love and pain, and often we wish to transcend our "less desirable" aspects and our limitations. However we must always ask, "By what means, and at what cost?" Inspired by Roland Barthes "Mythologies" and his eloquent writing on plasticity, I explored this concept with fierce dance collaborator and artist Colleen Hooper through sculpture and video. By installing cut, sewn, dyed, and constructed "natural forms" using plastic, juxtaposed with the human body, we wrote a performative and mediated installation and video project. The gallery audioscape was dictated by the sound of a sleep/ noise machine. Meanwhile, a short video combining dance, sculpture, and a recorded narrative entered a reflection on car and desk culture, and distance from the wild. These themes seem just as vital today as ever, as humans increasingly realize the weight that plastic bears on the fate of our planet and the lives of all living beings. 

The Walnut Lane Bridge Project
2009-2010

​A 3-part series of site-specific video collaborations between myself and dancer/choreographers Nikki Roberts & Briel Driscoll with sound designer Cory Neale ("Forces of Friction"), as well as dancer/ choreographers Beau Hancock & Colleen Hooper ("Arches"), and my own solo performance ("Para"). This project was built out of the framework of the Walnut Lane Bridge (Germantown neighborhood, Philadelphia) and was filmed in the year of its centennial anniversary. The bridge itself was the world's largest poured-concrete structure at the time. This mark of human accomplishment contains the impure history of the tragic death of multiple workers during its construction, that occurred during the move of the falsework to pour the second arch. In our modern interpretation, we read our history and responded more viscerally to the site as it presented itself to us. This collection was highly improvisational in nature.
