Interdisciplinary Projects

No Remembering Becomes Memory
research | performance | film | memory | place

Ongoing research through interdisciplinary artistic inquiry into collective memory, historical responsibility, and the resonance of place. Developed through research and travel in the United States and Germany, the project brings together performance, spoken text, field recordings, documentary materials, and moving image. This Is the Land, an 8:29 single-channel video work, emerged from this inquiry.

Created with Allen Otte, The Innocents is a long-term performance project exploring wrongful conviction and exoneration through percussion, spoken text, and electronics.

Music + Poetry
speaking percussion | language | performance | collaboration

I work at the intersection of music and poetry, exploring ways of bringing poetry from the page into a performative space through sound, voice, and physical gesture. Through collaborations with poets and writers—including sustained body of work with Nick Lantz—I am interested in how performance can transform our experience of language and how language can reshape musical experience.
