“To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to feel. That is the purpose of life.” James Thurber.

In a quest to change the future by understanding the past, to shine a light on self-knowledge, shared vulnerability, and kindness, a leap of faith is often required. This film explores and shares that leap of faith.
I choreographed this 5 minute solo for film in 2022. This was the first choreography and performance that I made public in over 20 years and came after a long process of searching, understanding, accepting and learning. I felt it was time to resume sharing my passion for dance in the public arena once again, to fulfil my desire to tell a story through movement, to perform, and to be vulnerable with no limits.
