I am an immigrant living in/moving through borderlands. A practitioner of ancestral and experimental dances. A trans-national community-rooted artist. An academic-interventionist. A gemini devotee of duality. A dance teacher-student-maker. 

I see my body as a crossroads between the personal and the ancestral, memory and futurity, and spirit and flesh. By inhabiting the crossroads where these forces meet, my body teaches me how to hold complexity as a liberatory practice— finding freedom within structure, embracing tradition alongside experimentation, honoring individual expression inside of collectivity, and ultimately experiencing how none of these (seeming) binaries have to be at odds with each other. In bringing movement to them, their tension becomes malleable and generative… going from stagnant dichotomies to fluid interstices full of possibility. 

My work seeks to live in these interstices.

It locates social and ritual BIPOC practices of embodiment as fertile sites for choreographic inquiry, pedagogic encounters, and political possibilities. It is a movement of sacred play, at once rigorous and free. It is border-crossing and time-traveling technology. It generates valuable knowledge about how to be in the world. And it belongs to movers of all kinds— asserting that all bodies are dancing bodies.
