Dance
As a filmmaker, my job is to find news ways in which I can capture the physicality and details of movement that accurately represent the intended artistic vision of the dancer(s) and/or choreographer. By presenting a new perspective through film it enriches each performance, allowing the viewer or audience to experience the work from the inside. I have a wide range of experience filming and editing dance, from classical ballet to contemporary and experimental movement. Working with such an extensive range of styles and artists has allowed me to experience how vast the spectrum of choreographic movement can be and where it can take the viewer. With every new piece and collaboration that I film, there is always something new to learn.
