WORKSHOPS
Under the skin explores personal medical histories through creative process.  The project is a collaboration between Hope and Douglas Rosenberg, video artist and Professor of Art at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Through dialogues and creative movement sessions, Hope and Doug gather stories surrounding the medical imagery experience from participants. These stories provide the creative soil for choreographic process culminating in performance. Click here for an article about the project's first performance. 

The Language of the Listening Body
The Language of the Listening Body is research and performance project developed by Hope and composer Michelle Nagai that explores listening awareness and movement improvisation through soundwalks and studio work.  For Hope's published article on the work in Women & Performance: A Journal of Feminist Theory, click here.
