I am an artist and spiritual practitioner. My practice originates from and investigates how we interrelate within the web of life.

My work explores sensitivity, boundaries, and relationship from an animist perspective; synesthesia and sensory differences; gender and womanhood; multiplicity of identity; transformation; the natural world; and undomesticating the body.

My dance practice and performance is informed by many devoted years of training in butoh. I have studied extensively with Mizu Desierto of Water In The Desert, Diego Piñón of Body Ritual Movement / Butoh Ritual Mexicano, and Milan Dragicevich in the Suzuki Method of Actor Training.  I have also been lucky to take classes with butoh masters Ken Mai, Natsu Nakajima, Yumiko Yoshioka, Yuko Kaseki, Mushimaru Fushieda, and Koichi and Hiroko Tamano. My public performances combine butoh perspective and skill with a flair for sincere melodrama and theatrical presentation.

As a vocalist, I train with teacher Ayla Réalta. I am best known for a powerful and resonant low belt up to E4, and work with a mixed range stretching from C3 to the whistle register. I am interested in accessing a taboo enormity of the female voice. An ugly duckling singer since childhood, it wasn’t until my 30s that I had the courage and maturity to lean into my unusual vocal qualities, and learned once again that deep beauty comes from strangeness. When I sing, I hope to empower other women to develop their true voices, as opposed to the thin idea of what we think pretty is.

I am available for bookings, collaborations, and experiments of many natures.
