My Articles on Preventing Sexual Violence in Contact Improvisation Dance Communities


Here is the complete series of three oil pastel drawings that I did to illustrate my article, "Starting by Believing Maria: Responding to Sexual Violence in Safer Brave Contact Improvisation Spaces" in the Summer/Fall 2019 Vol. 44.2 issue of CQ Contact Improvisation Newsletter. (For more of my writing on preventing sexual violence in dance communities, visit reservoirofhope.blog.)
