Moving Backwards, 2018
This is a dance score I started practicing in February 2018 while teaching at DOCH in Stockholm. “Moving backwards (literally) through (subjective) cycles of completion.” I did 41 daily videos of this practice as I traveled from Brooklyn, New York to Sugar Grove, Illinois to Santa Fe, New Mexico, and finally, Ubud, Bali.
The series can be found in its entirety on Facebook and Instagram.

Moving Backwards is a synthesis of many personal interests, including:
- nervous system cycles
- not knowing
- rhythm as a tool for transformation
- the *actual* experience of my body as a tool for transformation
- my future is behind me
- my past is in front of me

Thank you body. Thank you dancing. Thank you spirit. Thank you to the hundreds of movers I got to do this with.
