My work melds dance, physical theater, and circus, and draws heavily on a childhood playing sports and practicing Chinese acrobatics. I'm particularly drawn to the magic of immersive storytelling that uses multiple modes of expression—physical, verbal, aural—to open doorways to surprise, nuance, and delight. I aim to make work that is physically rigorous, emotionally acute, and deeply human. 

 

I have performed on stages throughout the US, Mexico, Canada, and Belgium. I often collaborate with my twin sister, Aviva Rose-Williams, as part of Split Second, and have also collaborated extensively with Galen Rogers, Ky Frances, Charlie Brown, Sarah Young, and others. Important mentors in my work have included Andrea Olsen, Charlie Varon, Nancy Stark Smith, Nina Haft, and Randee Paufve. 

 

When I'm not dancing, I work as a creative producer for award-winning medical storytelling organization The Nocturnists, develop food-based curriculum with The Edible Schoolyard and elsewhere, and write regularly for national dance blog, Life As A Modern Dancer. In all these roles, I'm interested in exploring language as a tool for facilitating meaningful experiences.
