About BRDP...
Artistic Statement: In keeping with the goal to create innovative movement and visual images, I attempt to push my creative vocabulary in a new direction with each work. Themes and individual actions are typically a clear reflection of and inspired by the music choices, incorporating non-literal gestures and quick, detailed phrases to convey emotion. Utilizing a strong amount of floor work, falling in and out of inversions and partnering, I explore exercising upper-body strength as equally as the lower body to allow for the greatest range of choreographic possibilities. Audiences are taken to a different environment and implored to experience the tensions and joys available there. While the work may be grounded by a pedestrian storyline, the end goal is not necessarily to convey a clear message to the audience but to deliver an overall visceral and aesthetic experience. Viewers are allowed and invited to enjoy the movement on its own, for beauty’s sake, as well as to create and decipher their own thematic explanation.
