I have collaborated on various dance & theater projects with Paul Langland, Lars Øyno, Alexandra Beller, Moisés Kaufman, Maureen Fleming, David Gordon, Sin Cha Hong, Stephen Petronio, among others. I performed in Love Alone Anthology Project (2025) at La MaMa, choreographed & directed by Keith A. Thompson and presented by danceTactics, inspired by the writings of AIDS activist Paul Monette; performed in and co-produced Brain to Brain (2019), the final work created by Mary Overlie, my mentor since 1993; performed (in Norwegian) in the Ibsen Award-winning production of Svanhild in Norway, Russia, and Japan (2015-17); and had a number of my choreographies presented by the Danspace Project (New York) between 1995-2008.

I was the Manager of the Cummins Theatre in Australia (2012-14), served as a Producer & Stage Director for Grusomhetens Teater (2014-17), and was Production Manager for Tulsa Ballet (2019). As a Producer, I have worked in Europe, Japan, and the US on world- and US-premiere productions with danceTactics, Grusomhetens Teater, Kari Hoaas, Nela Kornetová, Pavel Zustiak/Palissimo, Ulf Nilseng, among others.
