College of Fine Arts Research Profiles

The concentration of my creative research is in the creative and instructional aspects of dance and theatre/musical theatre choreography and performance. I have consistently produced work in every academic year, and each summer, in both dance and theatre genres. Teaching, choreographing and performing in assorted dance and theatre styles have been the pattern to my professional career. The chronicle of my creative work actually parallels the diversity of styles found within my annual teaching assignments, which include modern, jazz, ballet and musical theatre styles.
