Save the date! 

Come out to support Zaccho Dance Theatre! 

I have been creating with Zaccho’s Artistic Director, Joanna Haigood, since 2013. 

We are reviving an old piece and am excited to share it!

The celebration & benefit will be at the historic Club Fugazi in SF. 

Drinks start around 6:30. 

More details coming soon. 

It was exciting to share Radio Vision with sold out audiences last May.

If you couldn’t catch it in person or would like to revisit the work, 

see this review by Nkechi Njaka:

5,400 ft per Hour With Helen wicks 

This body of work, which started in 2013, continues to have a momentum of its own. 

Both the dance and research informing it are continuing to grow in surprising ways.  Stay tuned!
