The Dance.
Trust
To see the self clearly is to acknowledge every part. The darkness, the light, the doubt, the confidence, the uncertain, the fearless. "Trust" is an ode to the source of self love that we all seek out in our darkest hours and the affirmations that light the way as we brave the journey.

command[ME]N(o)t:
An Effort to Understand & Surrender Everything
"command[ME]N(o)t: An Effort to Understand & Surrender Everything" is a love letter to the lives lost and affected by sexual abuse, violence, and assault. Convening with the spirits of those that have lost their lives, specifically the women and children, to sexual violence and genocide, this work is focused on seeking answers to the human condition. This work is a means of healing from the epiphanies that have arisen in acknowledgment of the universality of violence against women and children globally. The overall process of this work has been one of openness with the dance artists and attempting to be as honest, transparent, and vulnerable as I can possibly be through actionable memory recall.
