I am a choreographic designer primarily 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, where I analyze how choreographic thinking may be applied to various design processes like the representation of data. My current work explores how abstract datasets can inspire affective responses via a performative process that I call data kinesthetics. In addition, I research how choreographic interfaces can increase the kinetic and spatial interactivity between humans and technological systems. Presently, I am an Artist in Residence at the University of Maryland, College Park and a Researcher at metaLAB (at) Harvard, an experimental arts, humanities, and design lab.
In 2020, I graduated with distinction from the Master in Design Studies 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, the Oslo Opera House, and Place des Arts in Montréal. As a solo artist, I had the privilege of performing at Korea’s Modern Dance Festival (MODAFE), the Beijing Dance Festival, DOCK11 Berlin, and other venues via my then San Francisco platform, Linsdans − work that culminated in an Isadora Duncan Dance Award (Izzie). I now serve as an Advisory Board member both to Springboard Danse and Bridge Live Arts.
