Over the past two years Casey has been developing dance modalities designed to increase body awareness and communication with pain. While in the Dance BFA program at NYU Tisch, Casey forged a niche pathway focusing on performance production, choreography, and movement therapy. In their independent study Casey spoke with multiple child athletes about their individual experiences with chronic pain, post-traumatic stress, and childhood trauma as well as studying under Elizabeth Coker to learn more about universal neurobiological patterns associated with motor-sensory imagination and creative arts therapies. Casey wishes to contribute to the destigmatization of trauma and encourage empathy through experimental performance combined with transparent contextual research.

Through collaboration, the organization will be creating educational opportunities and pushing the boundaries of what accessible and affordable art experiences can be.
