Gary has presented his own works, as a choreographer, in New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Antwerp, Paris, and Tel Aviv. His movement style is influenced by energy flow in the body and the force of music.
He uses fantasy to approach movement from an emotional state explored through improvisation that's then made into phrase work. Through this emotional connection-first approach he hopes to expand the practice of dance and make work that is dynamic and intuitive.
