With this work I managed to find beauty while in the midst of one wild ride.

We filmed this piece at 2 am after a week long tech.The Lobby stunk horribly from the glitter sprayBut this was also one of the most fun and silliest nights Ive ever had. — We filmed this piece at 2 am after a week long tech.

But this was also one of the most fun and silliest nights Ive ever had.

When there is space things begin to shift.

“When I created this work I was amazed with how one life can collide with another, and how impactful those interactions can become ”

“I think about death all the time. I think that’s a good thing because we’re all going to die, and the only thing we can control is how we are and what we’re doing in the meantime.
”

— Steve Gleason (NFL Football Player, living with ALS)

This project is very dear to my heart. We created the film on christmas day in 2014. It is dedicated to my uncle Clint Townsend who has been living with ALS for over a decade. His life inspires me as he continues to persevere in spite of the many difficult challenges he is faced with on a daily basis; challenges that will only grow worse over time and will not ever get better. It is a perseverance so inspiring because it is one thing to continue when you know things will get better, but to continue to live fully when you know things will only get worse is a challenge that most people could not overcome.

I dedicate my movement to him because through his journey I have realized what a blessing it is to be so full of movement and to have the gift of dancing.
