"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."

​

- Henry David Thoreau

Artist Residency
​
Dear _____,
​
I have been differently drumming throughout my career, and I have lots to share about how that "far away" music is measured, and how to make more of it. My inquiry-based process begins with the question:
​
What if 20th Century Dance and Pop Music and Western Classical Music had a baby?
and...
What Limitations?
​
What music would result by combining the roots of contemporary rhythm, pulse, and improvisation with the emotional resonance, refinement, and coherent deployment of materials of Western Classical music? 
​
The following workshop and residency course offerings lead participants to answer these questions using my unique working methods. 
​
Minimalist Practices for Solo and Ensemble 
 
Mindful Improvisation and Composition
Deep Listening Through the Body
Music for Movement
Movement for Music
One Ball Juggling
