As a dancer and director, I am passionate about exploring personal stories—both familiar and deeply intimate—and how they take shape in our bodies. My work explores how our bodies hold history, carrying knowledge in our DNA and the imprints of our ancestors. By stripping stories down to their core, I aim to reveal the raw humanity within us.

I believe dance has a unique power to break barriers, challenge stereotypes, and push past limitations. It lays bare the unfiltered truth of who we are. Movement uncovers our unfiltered truths, showing that embracing who we really are can be a powerful act of defiance, even rebellion.

My inspiration comes from the trailblazers of modern dance— Arthur Mitchell, Martha Graham, Merce Cunningham, Alvin Ailey, and Katherine Dunham—who not only redefined movement but also responded powerfully to the historical events of their time, whether it be World War II, cultural erasure, or the AIDS epidemic. They were not just artists; they were leaders. The deep influence of these figures continues to guide and shape my creative process as I actively work toward shaping the world I wish to inhabit.
