Creation
Recently, my choreographic work has been deeply inspired by themes of Afrofuturism, guiding me toward investigations of the body as a site of dialogue—both with itself and with others—in response to the socio-political climate. In reverence to the makers who came before me, and in collaboration with my contemporaries, I recognize choreographic composition as a marker of time—particularly in what feels like a critical moment in history. I am excited about the potential of contemporary dance practices, with their expansive and genre-blending nature, to address the complexities of deeply nuanced subject matter. What started as directing bodies through space and time has revealed itself as an opportunity to direct the interconnected energy between people, guiding them to articulate a shared perspective. In engaging composers, writers, and lighting designers to support my work, I bring this same perspective into the larger artistic team. Like oral histories and songs, the act of using shared physicality to construct complex architectural designs continues to drive my inquiries as a dance maker. Together, these elements serve as a powerful commentary on the larger existential structures that shape our shared human experience.
