A member of the dance faculty at Cornell University from 1989- 2014, he taught movement explorations, post-modern dance technique, dance history, performance improvisation, and the history of Hip Hop dance culture. In 1996 he graduated Summa Cum Laude (Cornell '96), receiving a BA in ‘Ritual and Performance.' During this period he created Dancing Iguana Consciousness, Dada ART Barking, Booda Fairyism, and staged the first gay wedding ceremony at NYC's Lincoln Center (Getting Married-1990). But perhaps most significantly, he created a series of healing rituals directed by the ‘channeled' animal spirit goddess and shamanatrix, Ramona Wolf. Sanctuary: Ramona and the Wolfgang Work for a Cure was chronicled in David Gere's book, "How to Make Dances in an Epidemic." His work from the 1970's through the 1990's has been detailed in Sally Bane's book, "Writing Dancing in the Age of Postmodernism."...
