Research and Original Creative Work
Choreography: My choreography is original creative work, which I conceive and teach to dancers. I
collaborate with lighting designers, costume designers, scenic designers and composers to produce a work
for performance. I generally create on a commission basis, or in the capacity of artistic director. Re-staged
works are completed works of choreography which I have previously created, produced and have
performed, but have rehearsed and produced again with a different cast at a different venue.
