Postcards From Juilliard Alums
I spent my first year and a half after graduating from Juilliard cocooned in a home dance studio in Bushwick, Brooklyn, working with my friends and collaborators from school, creating, documenting, and performing our work. There was something very special about that time, cementing the relationships I had made at Juilliard, and allowing the experience of those four intense years settle within me.
Eventually I began freelancing for other choreographers including Shen Wei and Jonah Bokaer, and in 2009 I joined the Limón Dance Company. Having grown up studying Limón technique, joining the company felt like a homecoming. I knew I was entering a space that championed long-term investigation of ideas and offered so much amazing repertory to dig into. I hoped it would be a place I could grow for many years. It was indeed, and still is today. I danced with the company for nine years, getting to sink my teeth into many amazing dances over a long period of time. Toward the end of my dancing years, I became the rehearsal director for the company, which allowed me to develop my perspective of the work from the outside as well as from within, and in 2021 I became the company’s associate artistic director.
I continue to be so grateful for the trajectory my career has taken, as I’ve been able to stay connected to the work, and build my life outside of dance. I now live in Brooklyn with my wife and our two children, and work every day in the studio with the amazing artists of the Limón Dance Company.
