The Physics of Meaning

I study how human beings continue to develop throughout life. My work explores the relationship between movement, imagination, perception, symbolic understanding, ecology, and human development — through artistic practice, developmental psychology, and long-term observation.

For more than twenty years, my laboratory has been the dance studio, the classroom, the rehearsal process, and everyday life. Today that work has expanded into developmental theory, artistic research, children's curricula, and writing. More about me →

I did not begin with a theory. I began by paying attention.

How I Work

Every person arrives with a different story, a different body, and different questions. Sometimes what is needed is conversation. Sometimes movement. Sometimes symbolic exploration. Sometimes nervous-system regulation. Sometimes quiet observation.

I don't begin with a method. I begin with you.

Together we'll discover the approach that best fits where you are now.

The Founding Myth

The Circle and the Line

Before the framework had a name, it had a story. The myth of Zero and One — presence and becoming, the loop and the race, and the weaving between them. Told in seven movements.

"You have been weaving Zero and One since before you had words for either — the soul speaks in symbols long before it speaks in sentences."

Read it slowly. It is already reading you.
