I write on my experiences embodying Crip Time. Substack Link.
Cripping Improvisation Using Digital Glitch
Chapter within the volume Experimental Cinema and Dance edited by Rebecca Sheehan and Timothy Ridlen.
In this chapter, I articulate my process of glitching or “scrambling” digital video as a Crip improvisation score and human-machine choreographic collaboration. Referencing my experimental short film, Press Play (2016), and dance film collaborative projection, Too Little Too Late (2019), I theorize how scrambling is a Crip method of digital dancing while being otherwise disabled from the “normative” field of choreography and stage performance.
The Camera and My Neck: The Choreography of Chronic Pain
Chapter within the volume Oxford Handbook of Dance and Disability edited by Gili Hammer and Margaret Ames, Oxford University Press.
In this essay, I reference my series of six short films, Exit Strategies (2017-2021) as the foundation for analyzing the overhead camera as an extension of the body and catalyst for disabled empowerment.
What methodologies are possible when the camera is a translation tool for non-visible pain? How does the camera move from a disembodied tool to a device for empathy? What new futures can be envisioned for the field of dance film when chronic pain is invited into the film production space?
ACTING QUEERLY: Creative Collaboration in Applied Bioarchaeology
Chapter within the volume Applied Bioarchaeology edited by Catriona McKenzie, Springer 2025.
Queer methodologies in bioarchaeology expand our interpretations beyond what can definitively be discerned from scientific data, inviting polyvocal expressions into the research process. But what exactly is a “queer methodology” in bioarchaeology?
Referencing our collaborative film, a story that doesn’t have to do with me (2021), bioarchaeologist B Charles and I challenge simplistic definitions of queer methodology in order to make connections across fields of bioarchaeology and experimental filmmaking.
Finding Connections in Hypermobility and Chronic Pain
Short contribution within the book, Moving Into Skill: A Framework for Integration by Luc Vanier, Elizabeth Johnson, and Rebecca Nettl-Fiol, University of Illinois Press.
In this contribution, I offer how the Framework for Integration has impacted my relationship with my body, joint hypermobility syndrome, and chronic physical pain.
