Curiosities

In the moment of loss, there is a silence so loud it breaks the soul. The heart might beat but the pounding haunts the body evermore. This singular moment in time is the essence of my piece. Loss is not a linear line or concept. There are many degrees and avenues of loss. The emotional impact connects us. Our feelings and emotions connects us. What we feel on the inside as humans transcends time, space, and arrangement. It is universal. The environment created by this poignant and intimate piece will allow the viewer to feel part of this journey through time and space.

Clips from a wonderful week at CCOV Residency last week.

The week felt like sewing thread through touchable body and memory. 

I am a hip-hop dancer/choreographer, but also mainly a poet and writer. This means that I often find myself somewhere in the in-between of things. I call this “the grey”. A part of me has always hated this; not being able to stand on the solid ground of many parts of who I am. This has been true for my identity as well.
