As a theatre maker and instigator of public projects, her practice activates spaces with the performative, and investigates the relationship between performance and audience, spectator and place, site and story. Her work has been published in print magazines, seen on stages, hung in galleries, shared on the street, and supported by the Oregon Arts Commission, Vancouver Park Board, Richmond Public Art, Vancouver New Music, the ArtStarts Gallery, and Vancouver Foundation, among others. Current research interests include sensory walks, Rachel Carson, letters to places, and looking backwards.
From 2005-15, she created 12 full length shows with Portland, Oregon's Hand2Mouth, and toured work to La MaMa (NYC), On the Boards (Seattle), EMPAC (Troy, NY) The Myrna Loy Center (Helena, MT), and PICA's Time-Based Art Festival (Portland), among others. From 2003-04 she assisted William Pope.L in development and touring of The Black Factory, including performances at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MassMoCA), the Tang Museum, and the Berkshire Mall.
