Dancer & Choreographer

Dancing helps me make sense of the world.  

I earned my B.A. in Dance: Choreography & Performance at Wesleyan University.  

GROUND SERIES -  A dance collective using performance as embodied intervention co-directed by Sarah Ashkin and Brittany Delany. Each GROUND SERIES production is rooted in ensemble collaboration, interdisciplinary approach, inquiry-based content, and site-specific dance-making.  In practice and performance, dance is used as a means of personal and communal transformation and a catalyst for community dialogue. Since its inception in 2012, GROUND SERIES has created 18 original dance works performed throughout Southern California, the San Francisco Bay Area, Philadelphia, Northern New Mexico, and London. 

Peer Practice in the Desert - A first Sunday of the month movement exploration, with rotating facilitators and venues in the Inland Empire and the Coachella Valley.  Peer Practice satisfies the adult mover's desire for autonomy and body-friendly movement.
