I am most looking forward to working with Filipe Portugal in the spring and his new work. I think it’s going to be amazing to be a part of his North American choreographic debut.

Bryan Arias’s work speaks to me. I haven’t seen much of his work, but the quality of movement to what it actually says makes sense and looks intriguing.

I’m very excited to work with Helen Pickett. Her choreography is beautiful and every time I have seen it I am mesmerized by her work.

I’ve worked with Helen Pickett in the past and getting to delve into her movement style again will be an exciting challenge.
