Chloe generates choreography through a process of dance improvisation to unearth expressive material and writing what she describes as poem-scores- improvisation scores with poetic description or narrative - to create intent. Through this process, descriptions of the smell of the air, sounds from outside of an open window, the location of a movement impulse from within, fragments of a dream, the texture of a wall, all become rich sources of content. Somatic attunement and emotional navigation through dance, blend to create art. 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 is committed to honoring the forces that drive us towards self-expression, healing, and personal change.

Chloe is currently integrating trauma-informed research into her creative practice. She embraces the challenges and healing possibilities of participating in community while embarking on her own recovery from Complex PTSD. Because her work is improvisational, she discovered a personal need to investigate the ways in which hypervigilance and dissociation affect her intuition and appear in her choice-making. Chloe generates improvisation scores and poetry that interrogate a somatic experience of self and environment while applying the Alexander Technique concepts of inhibition and “faulty” sensory appreciation to her performance approach. 

Chloe is currently an artist in residence at Safehouse Arts in San Francisco. She performs in works by Alma Esperanza Cunningham. Her choreography has been presented across the Midwest at Bryant Lake Bowl, Red Eye Theater, the Cowles Center for Performing Arts, Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, and Danceworks Milwaukee.
