"Trip The Light" - A Virtual Reality Dance Game
Created choreography for motion capture, as well as a live show for 5,000 leaders in technology at AWE International XR Conference. Motion caputre choreography involves a specific expertise in working with technology as the translation from the body to computer isn't verbatim yet. Being able to improvise adjustments on a whim is a skill that comes to the forefront, as well as knowledge of how the technology being used for each project translates the body's movements.
Tech x Dance
Fusing interactive technology, film, and live performance, this project required separate choreography for four narrow vertical screens, one large overhead screen, as well as live on stage, all of which had to blend into a cohesive narrative storyline. Other specific tasks inscluded choreographing practical effects for green screen (such as creating the illusion of flying) and creating LED light choreography to sync with choreographic cues. Received publication recognition and performance opportunities from Vogue Online and Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show.
Dance Comedy
I love to tell stories through dance, and I love seeing people laugh and enjoy life.
Is there a better way to spend time than putting the two together? I think not!
Here are a couple Dance Comedy pieces I've choreographed for various platforms: Short film, Music Video, and even social media
CRELATA
Crelata is a dance education platform taught through video. It is specifically
designed for the K-6th grade public school system as a budget friendly way for schools to continue getting physical and arts education to their students despite budget cuts. I designed a series of six beginner-freindly classes teaching the dance style Popping. Breaking down each lesson into a digestible format for students was key, as well as designing the classes to have a 3D feel that would translate onto the body, despite it being taught through video format.
NIKE internal team building event
Led a Nike Employee team building event through dance and choreography. After a group class, employees were put into teams and led through a series of prompts to create their own choreographies. And since Nike is a conglomerate of the best of the best, of course there was a choreography competition amonst the teams to end the day.
WINGS
The Sciene of Flying, A State of Mind, A Love Letter to Human Kind
"The power within will make you soar"
A personal project. As a life time witness of the super-human ability of dancers to link next level athleticism with sophisticated artistic sensibility, I envision dancers as superheroes of their own accord, and the superpower of flight-- arguably the most revered-- was ideal to showcase movement artists in an elevated light.
