Introduction | Solo Performance
In 2012, I launched Linsdans to serve as the platform for my solo performance work. One year later, I premiered POR·TRAI·TURE, featuring guest choreography by Iratxe Ansa, Sidra Bell, Alex Ketley, and José Navas − a show for which I received an Isadora Duncan Dance Award (Izzie) in San Francisco. Following this success, and with support from American Dance Abroad, the Zellerbach Family Foundation, and numerous residencies like the Djerassi Resident Artists Program, I had the opportunity to further develop and tour Linsdans repertory to Greece, Germany, Canada, Bulgaria, China, and Korea, which expanded to include Would_She and Remote Body. Highlights included performances at the Beijing Dance Festival, DOCK11 Berlin, and Joe Goode Annex in San Francisco. My solo work explored themes such as solitude, consumption, absurdity, suffering, and vitality through contemporary dance, video projection, and dramatic lighting props, and was often set to classical and electronic music.
