His choreography provokes questions surrounding colonialism, cultural amnesia, whiteness and privilege, and the invisible/perceived/obvious structures of power in dance. As a teacher, he employs somatics as a way to amplify knowledge production through movement and by identifying and undoing coded systems of dance training that privilege Eurocentric canons and aesthetics. A graduate of The Juilliard School, he received an MFA from the UW-Milwaukee. Casel has danced for Michael Clark, Lar Lubovitch, and Stephen Petronio and was awarded a ‘Bessie’ – New York Dance and Performance Award for Sustained Achievement.
