Movement is the embodiment of our souls.
​
Movement allows our bodies to communicate naturally, vulnerably, and authentically. By using our vessels to create and discover, we are able to find a sense of self, and our part in the community. The bonds we create through movement is unparalleled. Collaborating with fellow artists has influenced my appreciation of the creative process, turning movement into codified yet intimate performances.
Through movement, our bodies are able to access our most genuine form, mimicking the pure elements of

nature. How can our body be as fluid as water, as strong as the earth, as delicate as air, as destructive as fire? In my creative process, I integrate these elements into each aspect of the performance including soundscapes, lighting, location, and the relationship with the audience.
Movement has aided my soul through channeling past aggressions or sadness into my work. By acknowledging my emotions this way, I am able to give them a voice and set them free. I continue to incorporate my personal experiences into my work, hoping to reach audiences with my message. If any individual is able to connect with me through my message, my work has fulfilled its purpose.
I intend to create an environment for performance artists to feel safe to learn, explore, and codify as they please. I want to share my love of movement within each individual process we exist in together and continuously learn from each other. I hope to assist dancers in finding and sustaining their passion for movement as my instructors did for me as a young artist.
