Chloe generates choreography through a process of dance improvisation to unearth expressive material and writing poem-scores to create intent. Her creative practice investigates personal mythology and somatic experience to generate imaginative, visceral performances. Chloe’s work places value on the vitality of inner life and honors the forces that drive us towards self-expression, healing, and personal change.

Chloe has taught contemporary dance technique, improvisation, dance composition, yoga, and Alexander Technique to adults and children. Her teaching prioritizes creativity, curiosity, and connection. She also centers communication, student agency, and student self-advocacy skills. She is currently integrating trauma informed practices and research into her teaching methodology.
Chloe has experience teaching dance at the college-level, in dance studios, online, in memory care, in community centers, and in performing arts centers to students of diverse ages and abilities. She has taught the Alexander Technique to musicians, dancers, actors, singers, yogis, and roller-derby enthusiasts.

Chloe writes interviews with artists about their creative process, talks with them about their recent work, and reviews performances. She writes to advocate for the arts; increase the visibility of performing artists; enhance arts access; and deepen relationships with audiences. With a focus on dance and interdisciplinary craft, she’s curious, “how does the artist’s embodied experience inform the work that they make?”
