In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Aerial dance is a captivating medium for connecting humanity through a myriad of universal feelings including struggle, strength, failure, resilience, perseverance, and joy. I believe that these qualities extend the aerial arts beyond pure entertainment. As this art form gains popularity and acceptance in the mainstream public, I strive to engage an audience at an emotional and intellectual level that rises above awe-inspiring feats of beauty.

Through my explorations in aerial fabric, I have created innovative ways of moving through the material while suspended in the air. The core of my creative process utilizes a tool called "fabric theory," that aids in my understanding of how the fabric wraps around the body, why particular knots catch you in drops, and leads me into an endless amount of inventive material. Fabric theory, improvisation, and countless hours experimenting, all contribute to the original drops, wraps, and locks I invent. My goal is to create an entirely original act with physical material that the world has never seen before.
