I didn't want to have to do it

This fall, I had the joy of premiering a new duet with my dear friend and collaborator, Dr. Chloé Roberts, as part of the Steps Beyond Foundation’s Choreography Lab at Steps on Broadway.

Our piece, “I Didn’t Want to Have to Do It,” lives in that bittersweet space of what it means to stay in a relationship.

Creating with Chloe is always a gift. We trust each other implicitly, which meant we could take risks, lean into nuance, and really let the story come alive in the small gestures between the big moves.

The Steps Beyond Foundation provides such a supportive space for choreographers to experiment, and having an audience lean into our duet was the best reminder of why I love making dance: connection.

Stay tuned for more from this partnership—I have a feeling Chloe and I are just getting started.
