I am an interdisciplinary artist engaging with the practices of movement and words; the writing, choreographing, performance and poetics of dance and text. Central to my existence in this world is the fact that as a person I cannot and will not separate myself from my art, my race and my political beliefs. I create art of life’s sake, breath by breath. I make art out of necessity to communicate truths with the world at large. I am interested in the process and beauty and function and the mess of life, seeing the edges, breaking the fourth wall. I strive to create art that is in dialogue with communities of people, art that shares the aesthetic of blackness in all its unique glory and improvisation. Art that inspires, spreads understanding and compassion and calls for a deeper look at this society’s crippling isms.
