As a human who is also an artist I live and feel deeply. I am in process, my art is in process, and the world is in process, who I am and what I am doing is heavily influenced by that. I am in the midst of wild changing things, but I am changing too. I am constantly questioning the world around me and myself, while listening to understand. As a performer and choreographer, I foreground embodiment as a mode of theorizing the world at large. In my artistic process I hope to increase awareness and further understand the impact dance has on the fundamentals of living—feeling, communication, and community. To be seen, heard, loved, to create and connect, through these actions, I strive to generate a space for myself and others to exist. 

My art making process and way of life is about existing - it is about existing in our current world that is full of hate and grief in hopes to cultivate and find a more liberating, compassionate, and empathetic life. There is always more love and light to be discovered, embodied, and shared, but I guess that is the optimist in me. It’s that moment when you catch a glimpse of the sun on your face, and that patch of warmth and glow, sends energy throughout your entire body. This desire to seek a greater perhaps leads me to continuously be inspired by the body, nature, my community, and the ever-changing possibilities life and art brings my way. I find community, the people around us, closest to us to be a source of knowledge, support, and inspiration. To put it simply, through my making, I wish to reach all people; people who feel, believe, move, connect.
