Artistic Philosophy

For myself, being human is not merely the complexities of biological existence, but a collection of lived and felt experiences. In my work as a dancer, choreographer, and teacher, I strive to bring forth an unapologetic version of the human existence that is both inspired by and in honor of the our hearts, minds, and bodies. I strive to create safe spaces for dancers that recognizes the importance of both mental and physical health. My dance in class and performance is a catalogue of difficulties, and a catalyst for success. It is a composite of the whole human.
