Artist Statement:
“Performance allows for the potential of connection and reflection- driven by a deep-seated belief in the power of movement to convey emotions that words often fail to express… Calling upon the transformative powers of movement expression and storytelling, I strive to create performances that resonate on a personal and universal level with the spectator, inviting audiences into a shared emotional experience. In every choreographic endeavor, I am committed to fostering an inclusive space that celebrates diversity and challenges preconceptions, allowing for physical transmutation // transcending perceived boundaries and shaking our core.
