Movement. Intention. Lore. Embodiment.



Movement Is Essential To Life.

Whether literal or metaphoric, the rhythm found in the innermost parts of the self is what pushes purpose. All things are constantly moving, constantly changing, and going forward in this dance we call life. From the smallest of atoms inside of you to the biggest of supernovas in the furthest spaces of the universe. From the most inspirational dances to the greatest statements of social change and everything in between; it all begins with movement!

I’ve dedicated my life to movement and dance, intention and intuition, lore and storytelling, and embodiment and enlightenment because they saved my life. These pillars helped me escape trauma and abuse, so I continue to cultivate safety & joy for myself through my creations and use them as tools to connect with others. Our stories are magic; you can see their ability to inspire change when shared! It only takes a small gesture from one person to begin a ripple of interactions that can transmute the heaviest of energies, and inspire change.

Here you will find content all about movement, dance, storytelling, the art of teaching, embodiment, and wellness. You can view free videos and performances, read my blog, visit the shop to register for classes & workshops, or sign up for exclusive content. Groups, schools, and independent artists can also find specialized programs to fit their needs: I offer everything from training, choreography, and artistic direction, to administrative support and 1 on 1 consultations.

 

My work is informed by:

  1. The Idea that Art is a necessary tool for connection, communication & healthy self-expression.

  2. The never-ending Exploration of the self & the intersectionalities of personal identity.

  3. Our relationship to others, our environment, & the universe.

  4. MOvement mechanics & the Mind-body connection.

  5. Holistic health & overall well-being.

  6. curiosity, experimentation, & innovation.

  7. culture & decolonization.

  8. the study & transmutation of energy.

  9. deconstruction & abstraction.

  10. philosophical inquisition of truth & the idea of reality.
