He draws from a variety of movement practices, and uses pole to play with tension/release, momentum/inertia, physical sensation, and internal experience. He is interested in experimental approaches, building and breaking patterns, and exploring how we can use our bodies to cultivate curiosity, honesty, and brief moments of freedom.
