He has programmed dance, theater, and artist residency programs at The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center and played a pivotal role in directing major dance festivals.

The upcoming season promises an unparalleled experience of local excellence. We are thrilled to share that all co-presentation artists will now be granted a two-night run in the Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Theater at Dance Place, allowing them to showcase their work to a wider audience and deepen their connection with the local dance community. Stay tuned for the complete season announcement in August!
