Having experienced many different places growing up, the landscape has been a constant source of inspiration for me. I am intrigued by the separation between the expansive suburban landscape and nature. My recent work explores the purely human made landscape on one hand and free flowing imagery representing the natural world on the other, sometimes juxtaposing the two in a single piece.</span><br>

Following many years of writing and performing spoken word, performance works and physical theater, she dove into the pure language of the body and the power of the butoh imagery to transcend personal and human limitations. Throughout Death Posture's New Orleans time and subsequently in Seattle -- where she arrived in 2004 with her dance partner Alex Ruhe -- Vanessa has constantly worked with experimental musicians in performances. Now called Danse Perdue (lost dance), Vanessa and Alex create works as intimate collaborations between bodies and sound, whether structured group performance or solo/duo improvisations. She brings over ten years of Ashtanga/Hatha yoga teaching experience, lending her butoh classes a deep body specificity and technique in which to ground butoh imagery. Vanessa and Alex have trained and performed with Jinen Butoh founder Atsushi Takenouchi since 2003. </span><br>
