My choreographic process if filled with the passion to share unheard stories to portray and capture the rawness and inspiration behind survival. I look to tell powerful, untold, stories to capture audiences and take them back in time through art making.

​Stella, a short story ballet, takes you back in time to Warsaw, Poland. It tells the story of Stella Sonnenschein who survived World War II by embarking on a journey of commitment, determination, and hardship. Stella reunites with her mother at the end of the war.
​
Stella was gracious enough to let me interview her and learn about her entire story. I am grateful for her time and grace.
