As a dancer and director, I am passionate about exploring personal stories, both deeply familiar and intimate, and how these stories can take shape in our physical bodies.

Whether I am directing the camera’s movement to clarify storytelling, choreographing new works, curating events like performances, parties, and community-centered spaces focused on release and restoration, or even performing as a dancer or actor, ultimately, my goal remains the same: to create meaningful, fully embodied experiences.

My inspiration comes from the trailblazers of dance, like Josephine Baker, Arthur Mitchell, Martha Graham, Merce Cunningham, and Katherine Dunham. These artists didn’t just redefine how we move; they used dance to powerfully respond and speak to the historical events of their time, whether it was World War II, cultural erasure, the AIDS epidemic, or simply challenging the way things were expected to be. They were not just artists; they were leaders. Their influence continues to guide my creative process as I creatively work to make pieces that reflect this world we live in, and help to shape the world I want to see. I believe that the unique power of dance can redefine stereotypes and push past social limitations, helping us explore social barriers that often shape and limit our human experience.

Dance has a way of grounding us in the unfiltered truth of who we really are.
