My work as a choreographer includes live performance on traditional
and non-traditional stages, choreography for videodance and
animation projects, and choreography for telematic performance.
Between 1998 and 2002 I presented 57 new dance works, (22
of which were created within in 2002). Twenty-five of the
57 works were multimedia performances using digital video,
sensors or motion capture technology and 14 were commissioned.
My choreography was presented in six states (California, New
York, New Jersey, Texas, Arizona and Iowa) and in ten other
countries (Brazil, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Germany, Romania,
Korea, Holland, England, China and Canada).
