While studying dance at Austin Community College, Sarah (pictured with the GMM dancers/actors and crew) took Nate Locklear’s Film and Video Editing course to learn about film editing. They became friends, began sharing dance videos they liked and planned to work together in the future. Sarah was then accepted into The University of Texas at Austin, studying Humanities. Since 2012 she has worked as a dance Teaching Artist at Forklift Danceworks and as an Assistant Choreographer at Kids Acting & Center Stage Texas.
Once Nate Locklear (GMM Director) realized they were going to have an intense dance performance in the film Nate knew there was only one choice of who should choreograph. Sarah crafted an intense, modern, experimental dance built around the themes of flesh, anger, passion, possession and love. She and her dancers worked hard to create something visceral but still beautiful.
