Creative Direction



​​Tilted Collab

​
PROJECT:
​In February 2018, I founded a contemporary dance collaborative with the purpose of creating authentically, challenging norms, and giving back to the community.

MY ROLE:
As creative director, I manage a team of artists and provide opportunities to dance + perform.


In addition to cultivating a collaborative community, I organize company logistics alongside two co-directors. We handle everything from media and events to budget and rentals.

​SERIES 1​
​JANUARY - JUNE 2018

I directed a team of choreographers and videographers in producing eight dance concept videos.

​We hosted a live screening and improv workshop to premiere three of the films and fundraise for local organization, The Theater Offensive.


​SERIES 2
​SEPTEMBER - DECEMBER 2018

Exploring new ways of creating collaboratively, I led a group of dancers through choreography and improvisational sessions to build new pieces together each week.

​We presented our final work in a fundraiser showcase and workshop event to engage the community with our creative process. All proceeds were donated to Silver Linings Mentorship.

​SERIES 3
​FEBRUARY - AUGUST 2019

I challenged a group of contemporary choreographers to push boundaries of dance and movement - to create the unexpected.

At the end of
 the series we produced a mixed arts, benefit show 'Offset' to share our work alongside guest artists + performers and raise funds for Youth of Fire, a local youth nonprofit.

In addition to building individual and collaborative work, the full company participated in a live performance for the New Bedford Whaling Museum as an extension of their 'Whales Today' exhibit.




​SERIES 4 - 5
​SEPTEMBER 2019 - APRIL 2020
​

Our fourth and fifth series focused on providing opportunities for artist and dancers across all styles & levels to connect and grow. 

My co-directors and I curated a diverse line-up of choreographers to teach a class in their own unique style each week through fall and winter seasons. 100% of our proceeds were donated to Boston's Artist Relief Fund.
