Works

2011

"Ashen Wing"
Music: Graham Fitkin. Costumes: Collin Bunting
Premiered: The Other Dance Festival, 10th Anniversary.
"Ashen Wing communicates excitement, even a sense of danger . . . the movement bursts out, straining upward, then quickly recedes . . . It's rare and welcome to see a dance so infused with the bitter wisdom and unaccountable joys of age" (seechicagodance.com).

2010

"April" (new version)
Music: Ahir Bhairav, Alan Posselt, Aneesh Pradhan. Costumes: Atalee Judy, revised by Collin Bunting
Premiered: The I-Loft, Ulan Bator, Mongolia.
"an engaging, nicely designed piece . . . begins with a quiet solo, evolves into a cascading ensemble energy, and returns for a more feversih solo, all the while following the oh-so-meditative crescendo of the sitar" (Chicago Tribune, 3 star review).
