About Me (human/individual)/interests, work..short bio/ THis is the most important. It is the only way to know that you are not a SPAMBOT!Be generous!: More than a choreographer, I am a storyteller whose telling is through movement and space. I am interested in archetypal stories – stories that exist outside of time and place. Archetypal stories describe what happens in the unknown between knowns. They tell of the journey. They take place in the time and space between – the wilderness, twilight, dreams. In performance, the dancer’s body inhabits this liminal space, allowing the audience a glimpse of these eternal stories, for a moment.

My performance company, ANIKAYA, has been evolving since 1998 in India, Italy, Japan and the US. ANIKAYA's performances weave together music, dance and storytelling, secular and sacred, aural and visual. With each synthesis, a language is created. The name, AN-I-KAYA combines words from the Hebrew, Persian and Sanskrit into a new word meaning “grace given through the body.” This is what we do.

I believe in learning new forms and new ideas deeply, internalizing them and then allowing them to reemerge as part of my own vocabulary. This is what makes my work what it is – unplaceable and yet familiar. It is essential to my work that it not be tied to one place, one tradition, one genre. It is the weaving of disparate traditions, different ways of understanding that creates the fabric of my dance.
