Her choreographic works, including ‘Sand Body’ and ‘Solo (not solo) Water Study’, have been shown in Ontario, including at Summerworks, and Quebec at Tangente. In 2019, she participated in the CreativAction program where she created a solo for Sonia Rodriguez, principal dancer at the National Ballet of Canada.
