Hi, my name is Sarah. I like making things.
Working with movement, theater, film, wearable structure, embroidery, and vocal harmonies, I am interested in exploring how the weaving of seemingly separate mediums can result in something surprising and honest.
After graduating from Cornish College of the Arts with a BFA in Dance, I was a founding member of Danielle Agami’s Ate9 Dance Company from 2012 - 2020. Since 2021 I’ve worked closely with Tom Weinberger, assisting on the creation of dance-theatre works in and around Europe. I’ve guest taught, staged work, or assisted on creations with GöteborgsOperans DansKompani, Iceland Dance Company, Sasha Waltz & Guests, MASS MOCA, Tanzhaus Zürich, Tanzfabrik Berlin, K3 Hamburg, Nagelhus Schia Productions, Nuova Officina della Danza (ICD NOD), among others.
In 2024 I was commissioned by Wormfarm Institute & the Farm/Art DTour to create The Hayrake Ballet, a site-specific performance working with local farmers, large-scale machinery, and live orchestra in rural Wisconsin. The work was awarded the Ruth Arts WI Special Projects Grant 2025-26 and has been featured in New York Times and Hyperallergic Magazine.
In addition to dance-centered work, I compose and record acapella music, often working in tunnels, stairwells, farm silos, and other unusual resonant spaces. I’ve been building wearable sculptures as a part a collection titled Flowerhead since 2017, both on commission & for my own productions. I have shown film work with 0→1 gallery (NL, 2024) and won first place in the Franconia Sculpture Park Short Film Festival in 2021 & Alder SIFF in 2022. My first evening length solo performance work EILEEN, weaving together movement, vocal, and wearable sculpture work, premiered in May 2024 at Jergon Gallery & was selected for MASDANZA30.
I am based in Berlin, Germany.
