It’s crazy to think that I’ve already gone to my last first football game, performed in my first show of the school year and started rehearsals for my final Dance Downtown. When everyone got back to campus I actually felt old. I was walking through a sea of 18 year olds with their families and […]
(Gotta love the pun in the title, amiright?) This school year I have had the pleasure of working with Christine Ghinder again for her senior thesis project. I cannot truly describe the evolution of the piece since we began in August/September but it has been a crazy, fun roller coaster ride! “Prism” was a work that […]
This semester I decided that I really wanted to get a better grip on the technology and behind the scenes production element that dance has to offer.

As the final assignment for my History, Theory, Literature II class with Dr. Hannah Kosstrin, students were assigned the task of writing a research paper on anything they wanted pertaining to dance on the concert stage. I’ve always been interested in the social time period of the ’80s and decided I wanted to explore how […]
At the end of 2013, I thought I’d already made the big transition I was expecting coming out of high school. I’d survived my first semester of college and was absolutely loving it.
