Research Interests

My research has shifted a bit over the last 5 years from merging elements of Brazilian culture and music, perception of women, and how these elements collide and complement women’s issues in the US, to empowering students to draw movement ideas from themselves. The stimulation for the movement is organic and true, not imposed on them from the outside.

Many Miami students come from backgrounds where many decisions are made for them. Empowering them to make personal choices has been very frightening for some and positively life-altering for others. This movement is then manipulated by me and structured to fit within the framework of the choreographic theme. The dancers are able to physically, viscerally, and visually experience the power of having their personal expression utilized in the dance.
