I use improvisation to bring art into the everyday moments.
Below are a few specific projects, but you may follow all improvisations on Instagram @tinkered_dance.



SPONTANEOUS ARTIST COLLABORATION

Check out all of the #SpontaneousArtistCollab improvs on Instagram @tinkered_dance 

Sometimes the most beautiful art can happen when two artists decide to spontaneously make it – fully connecting with each other to create something special in the moment. #SpontaneousArtistCollab improvs have happened with dear friends, as well as complete strangers. Every single one provides the utmost joy.

This spontaneous collaboration took place on a street corner in Rome. I’d seen Carlos Maia performing multiple times during our stay. When I saw him performing in Piazza Navona, I asked if I could dance while he played, and he graciously said yes. For five minutes, we created art together for an audience of whoever wanted to pause and watch.




IMPROVS BY REQUEST

Follow #ImprovsByRequest on Instagram @tinkered_dance – or request one yourself via the contact page. 

I adore collaboration – merging different thoughts and ideas, allowing someone else’s imagination to inspire your own. That’s what this project is all about – working together to expand imagination, to get outside of my own head and to embody someone’s ideas. It works exactly as the title says: You request an improv – a location, a song, a poem, a feeling – and I take that as inspiration to improvise with movement. We can collaborate from absolute anywhere at any time. Gorgeous, isn’t it? I think so, too.

This improv was requested by Syren Modern Dance, who asked I dance in the middle of Grand Central at 5pm. What a joy, rush, and honor to begin dancing amongst a throng of busy strangers – bringing a bit of unsuspected art to their day.
