For years Vashti has been entertaining audiences through manifold choreographic productions. The breadth of her work covers opera, film, musicals, concert dance, and live events for non-profit organizations and corporate companies suchlike an enormous flash mob she created for 100 Farmer’s Insurance Employees!

Her choreographic style has no limits when it comes to diversity. Due to a deep imagination she comfortably develops concepts from a blank canvas and can easily format dance into unusual environments amidst architectural and spacial confines. Frequent elements of her work include highly energetic movement, dramatic storytelling, and overall breathtaking productions.

The production process deeply influences Vashti’s choreography. As a former stage manager, assistant stage manager, lighting designer and theater technician in her collegiate days she has learned how to successfully run complex productions. She credits these high-pressured experiences as developing her desire to envision each project as a whole - lighting, spacing, props, music, etc. - throughout her entire choreographic process.

Additionally, Vashti collaborates with a myriad of different artists such as directors, producers, composers, conductors, multi-media artists, painters, costume designers, and photographers. The artists she collaborates with inevitably inspire her and all have left a lasting footprint on her creative path.

A deep admiration for the big screen ignited Vashti’s passion for merging dance on film at an early age. As a professional dancer, choreographer, and director Vashti has collaborated on multiple dance films throughout her career.

Interestingly, Vashti’s dance film “Bear Ice” was selected to be featured in a publication by the WomenCinemaker’s organization in Berlin, Germany. This organization features women internationally that are making a difference in their community through cinema arts. They gave this review:

“We have been really impressed with the way your film raises questions about the issue of climate change, and we appreciate the way you explore the relationship between body and space, capturing unconscious emotional reactions, reminding us of Pina Bausch's, ‘Die Klage der Kaiserin’.”

As a Christian artist, Vashti has spent over ten years in dance ministry creating dance films and dramatic live events for Easter, Christmas, and other special services.
