who combines original dance and music compositions. Her work draws from an
eclectic training in classical choral music, African drumming, physical theater
and dance. A recent transplant from Chicago, she is honored to be making work
among the brilliant and wacky artists of the Bay Area. Tonight’s performance
will most likely be groovy and hip-hoppy and modern and expressive and wild.

idea that we are all just God playing hide and seek with itself.
