I am a dance artist working at the intersections of ritual, club, concert, and experimental movement practice.
My work emerges from decades of immersion in contemporary dance alongside deep study and lived experience in West African dance and drumming, martial arts, yoga, Salsa, and House dance. It’s shaped by improvisation and by intentional collisions between forms—rooted in the body’s capacity to carry culture, channel spirit, and generate change. I was initiated into this path dancing in the works of Nia Love, shaped by Viewpoints and improvisation with Barbara Dilley, and grounded in the physical logic of Bartinieff fundamentals with Jackie Villamil. My training stretches across continents and communities—from studying drumming in Senegal to dancing in clubs and school gyms, from kitchen tables to international stages.
I believe in the body as a technology—a living system that senses, remembers, and connects.
Through movement, we can locate ourselves in a lineage, in a moment, and in a shared future. The body becomes a lens, a tether, a way to see and feel the interdependent nature of our world.
My work meets this emerging moment with a steady belief in our shared humanity.
I draw from tradition while refusing stasis—continually reimagining how we move together, how we build space for presence, and how performance can function as both ritual and reckoning. My practice is not about surface. It’s about what pulses underneath, and insists on existence.
