Memoir examines how experiences and time leave their mark. It explores how memory and pain are held in the self, and how events transform over time. It asks what endures—and what fades.

​

Memoir is a series of solos, each one a chapter from my life. The pieces act as snapshots of moments, choices, and personal history. They are rotated, replaced, and re-imagined, allowing the work to respond to the present. 

​

The work is a living choreographic record, and a shifting narrative, meant to be explored and excavated throughout my life. As the pieces evolve through performance, Memoir traces the layered patterns of memory and the self, while reflecting the ongoing changes in recollection, physical presence, and perspective of the aging artist.
