'Spill, Drop, Fumble, Slip and Fall' is inspired by a field of wild flowers and the inebriation that can occur if too many poppies are ingested. Exploring various states of intoxication and euphoria is a reoccurring theme in both my life and dance making. How we can swirl, swarm, take risks and appear out of control and yet maintain a flow. 'Spill, drop, fumble, slip and fall' is a line from an essay by William S. Burroughs, and examines how we can find a rhythm and tap into an ease and efficiency in order to not ever spill, drop, fumble, slip or fall.

This premiered in San Francisco at CounterPulse, in 2011.
