artist statement

---

I create multi-layered, interdisciplinary performances that interweave dance, theater, media, text, and common objects. Working collaboratively, I mine memory and history to conjure narratives that are often lost or overlooked. My aim is to draw audiences into intimate encounters where private and collective histories overlap, creating a space to consider both individually and together: what is long ago, but still right now?

My practice emerges from multiplying, intersectional processes. I am drawn to working in both expected and unexpected places—parks, historic homes, theaters, flip books, voicemails, even a truck—seeking forms that make embodied experience central and complicate normative narratives of past, present, and future. Within each process I consider the relationship between body and language—what should be spoken? What can embodiment transmit that words cannot?

Recent works explore inheritance, family lore, and domestic labor. [ ] (with composer Angélica Negrón) interweaves sculpture, sound, and movement to confront how femme care work persists in our bodies despite its omission from official histories. s o u n d i n g line (2019) animated untold stories within a historic cottage using dance, objects, and shadows, while box/truck (2023) transformed a 15-foot box truck into a mobile theater, using my Jewish grandparents’ assimilation stories to uncover “the stories underneath the stories.”

I have begun to imagine histories not only backward in time but also as speculative futures. During my New Jewish Culture Fellowship, I began MIGRATION PATTERNS, tracing oral histories through sculptural paper garments and environments. Rooted in my family’s migration stories, the project broadened to include climate refugees and the shifting ecology of our planet. In night-light (2025), I used cell phone flashlights and reclaimed plastic bags to contemplate the friction and beauty within our ecological entanglements.

I invite audiences into shared acts of remembrance and imagination that question how we inherit, how we belong, and how we might remake meaning together.
