ARTIST STATEMENT
Madison is committed to using dance as a means of illuminating fundamental human experiences, fostered by a deep willingness to be vulnerable and sincere in her practice. Her process and works are largely improvisation based. Madison aims to create an environment that reflects emotional responses resonating in the body, provoking viewers with questions and experiences that transcend any differential barriers that separate us from one another.
