I am a choreographic designer working in the domains of dance, data representation, and human-computer interaction. The body is often my site for investigation and intervention in the realms of design and performance, where I analyze how choreographic thinking may be applied to various design processes. My current work explores how scientific datasets can inspire humanitarian responses via a performative process that I call data embodiment. In addition, I research how choreographic interfaces can increase the kinetic and spatial interactivity between humans and technological systems. Presently, I am Artist in Residence at the Maya Brin Institute for New Performance at the University of Maryland, College Park and a Principal at metaLAB (at) Harvard, an experimental arts, humanities, and design lab comprising scholars, designers, artists, and technologists.
In 2020, I graduated with distinction from the MDes, Technology program at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Prior to this, I performed professionally with dance companies based in New York, San Francisco, and Montréal, including TAKE Dance, Hope Mohr Dance, and José Navas/Compagnie Flak. With these companies, I had the opportunity to tour across North America, Europe, and Asia. Highlights included dancing at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao and the Oslo Opera House. As a solo artist, I had the privilege of performing at Korea’s Modern Dance Festival, the Beijing Dance Festival, DOCK11 Berlin, and other venues via my platform, Linsdans, culminating in an Isadora Duncan Dance Award (Izzie). Connecting back to dance, I now serve as an Advisory Board member both to Springboard Danse and Bridge Live Arts.
