A collaborative culmination of four years of dance education. The 2025 BFA Cohort Choreographed, Directed, Marketed and Managed Production of Beyond the Glare is the beginning of professional careers for many students as they collaborate with designers one-on-one and begin to delve into the process of production. As the mentor to the student Stage Managers I oversaw the production from a birds eye level and worked closely with students to ensure the success of the production alongside Dr Biba Bell.

Allesee Dance Theatre
Eyes on the WatchTower explores the nuances of digital surveillance and community tracking in an evening-length performance. Through the use of multimedia design and movement, the company plays directly with techno-human relationships, asking: What are you looking for? Who are you looking at? Where are you looking? Who is controlling the narrative? Performers take audiences down the techno-mediated rabbit hole and into the world of digital surveillance, but it also examines if, how, and with whom we might imagine modes of tracking that make us feel safe.

Amélie is an extraordinary young woman who lives quietly in the world but loudly in her mind. She covertly improvises small but surprising acts of kindness that bring joy and mayhem. But when a chance at love comes her way, Amélie realizes that to find happiness she’ll have to risk everything and say what’s in her heart. Be inspired by this imaginative dreamer who finds her voice, discovers the power of connection, and sees possibility around every corner.

BAIRA Co & Matthew Daher Music
“Stations Direct” builds slowly and also features truly beautiful vocal parts as well as percussions, adding rhythmic patterns to the music. This music video challenged a group of dancers to transport to another planet as they moved through the rings of time - finding motion that brought them through retrogrades and full orbits.
