Adventures in Success is a screendance short featuring two dancers and takes inspiration from Will Powers’ song, Adventures in Success. The film pokes fun at “shallow” modes of self-realization while using physical comedy to transform the protagonist from a clumsy, self-conscious person to success. This work is part of ongoing research into the lighter side of movement, exploring comedic elements without ditching rigor and important social commentary.

BACKSEAT is a play on the scale of movement and speed. Starting with gesture work, the dancers are challenged to move one gesture per beat and see how it informs their partner's choreography. This continues to grow into full-bodied movement until the dancers are in a frenzy that saturates the space. The structure of the work is mechanical, almost like an engine, and the dancer's determination and energy drives the piece forward.
