ENUF
APRIL 18 - 20 @ TRISKELION ARTS
Join me this April as I embark on the momentous hurdle that is sharing my first evening-length multidisciplinary work,
’ENUF’
'ENUF' is an autobiographical solo that finds inspiration in feminist prose by Ntozake Shange and Alice Walker. It narrates the journey of discovering a profound sense of belonging through my return to Guyana, the ancestral land of my family where my grandparents still reside. While acquainting myself with the land, I realized that I had unknowingly embodied it in uncanny and unconscious ways – a realization that emphasizes the interconnectedness between myself and the land; I am it, and it is me. 'ENUF' delves into the essence of what resides within us and how our ancestors play a crucial role in bringing forth those elements.
Thanks to such incredible support from Triskelion Arts through granting me a Research Residency, I have really been able to invest in bringing this world to life in an authentic and intentional way. Through integrating elements such as soil, projection, spoken-word, and more, I am truly putting my all into this work.
‘ENUF’ is the culmination of 2.5 years of research, and I am so incredibly excited to share it with my community and loved ones.
I hope you’ll join us <3

Movement Research at the Judson Church
MARCH 11
Yay! I am so excited to finally share my work at the historic and magical
JUDSON CHURCH!
On Monday March 11, I will be sharing a version of my ever-evolving participatory solo ‘no training required.’ First shared at BADDANCE in April 2023, and then at CPR in December of the same year, I am eager to bring this work to a new audience and see what spontaneity and DANCE we can brew up together!
This iteration will be presented as a duet with the genius Malcolm X Betts. Judson feels like the perfect space to develop and experiment with the work in this way, and I can’t wait to see what chaos ensues.

Hope to make a dance with you there!
No RSVP required – just show up.
7pm / FREE.

GALLIM Moving Artist Residency
JUNE 17 - 28
I am overjoyed to have been awarded a moving artist residency by GALLIM this year! In collaboration with multifaceted musician Wesley Simpson, I will begin creating a world different from one I’ve ever built and that I have been dreaming up for some time now.
Building a bridge between our independent experiences to achieve a shared state of trance, Wesley and I strive to hold a mirror to a world where the ritual practice of tapping into ancestral wealth via trance in music and dance is understood as natural and inherently communal. I truly cannot wait to dive deep and fully into this heavy work.
