Sarah explores multimedia creation that weaves together dance and movement interactions. Crafting sites with choreographic under/tones, she explores notions of embodied thinking across diverse mediums and practices such as choreography, dance performance, video, web, and art installation. Inspired by subjects that engage with critical research, Sarah is interested in the ways that spectrums of movement and digital encounters can collaborate to incite micropolitical and poetic discussions around the complexity, interconnectivity and complicity of the individual in social systems.
