ARTIST STATEMENT

As a dance artist and choreographer, I am intrigued by the raw experiences of the human body, mind, & spirit. My works are influenced by my own personal background and the psychology of our humanity, the complex unique narratives, and the various emotional encounters we have with others & ourselves. My choreographic vocabulary consists of bartenieff fundamentals, floorwork/release technique, improvisation, collaboration, interweaving movements, and everyday nonverbal gestures. I am inspired by the power of expression, communities, diversity, and individual transparent identities; The beauty in vulnerability and tragedy of all lifespans. As well as the authenticity in self-discovery, perseverance, growth, and healing in our humanness. Therefore, I am constantly striving to create poetic performances that radically tell the story of an empathetic or unfamiliar kinesthesia, to help provoke thoughts, emotions, consciousness, empowerment, and/or compassion. As long as we are alive, dance can be healing for the mover and the viewer, because we are able to resonate with each movement from our own personal perspective. Thus, I am a strong believer that we are all dancers from the very moment we are born; Every breath is a dance; Every step, moment, and human we interact with or not is a contributed narrative to the dance improv of life.
