“Battles to Fight Beauty to Find”

There’s a personal mantra that I hold dearly, and that is that in life there are battles to fight but also beauty to find. Finding the silver lining in life’s trials and tribulations. Because I recognize that all I have been through is what made me exactly who I am:

The Dancer. The Choreographer. The Artist.

This world is our playground, with a purpose to create. My creative process starts with my inner child’s imagination. Lending its playful observations to the exploration of body and movement, which I then channel into concepts and collaborations - and ultimately into what the little kid in me wants to make. I believe that everyone is a dancer. My goal is to establish a safe space for dancers to come together, collaborate, and allow their bodies and voices to be heard.

I am inspired by vulnerability, the things we keep inside, and the playfulness that blossoms with the release of ego. From here we can begin a process of inquiry into how we can nurture and transform these internal struggles, ultimately creating some cool shit. As a visual thinker, my creativity is channeled into choreographed pieces, films, and other mixed media. I am deeply devoted to keeping art alive, mentoring others, community outreach, and having fun! My values have always emphasized imaginative play, spontaneity, and being constantly open to learning from and exploring this playground we all share.
