Projects I’m working on, projects I’m in, and ways we can connect!

U P C O M I N G

Performance at Judson Church on December 4 ♥

I am honored to have been curated to close out the incredible 23/24 season of the Black Aesthetics series with an evening of ceremony and shedding.

I will be sharing ‘questions on i n h e r i t a n c e’
a ceremonial experience which aims to lay out grief & address our legacy.

What did we inherit, whose work are we doing, & whose memories are we housing? What landscape do we carve for our babies… for our own hearts?

This is not a fully formed piece, but vignettes to experiment the very beginnings of ideas / research. I am nervous & eager to begin this work. Opening it to community is vulnerable, and necessary.

Won’t you join us?
BRING SOMEONE YOU’D WANT TO HUG and lets dig in.

This event is F R E E !! Just show up.
Wednesday December 4, 2024
Doors & Food @ 6:30pm, Show @ 7:30pm

Umbria Factory Festival
Spoleto, Italy
September 2024

I had the absolute pleasure of traveling to Spoleto, Italy in September to perform in
‘afterimage’ by Evan Ray Suzuki.

This butoh-inspired duet explored the dissociative affect caused by information overload and the concrete effects that digital scrolling has on the body.

Participating in this festival such a full and rich experience, from enjoying meals with the residents at LaMama Umbria to witnessing touching performances by other powerful artists.

Evan and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves & I certainly hope to return again!

‘SORE’ by Ashley Pierre-Louis at Pocantico Center
presented by TRIBE Multidisciplinary Arts Collective
September 2024

I have had the privilege of working with my dear friend Ashley Pierre-Louis on a duet of her creation, ‘SORE’, for over a year now!

We showed a work-in-progress version of this duet in September at the Pocantico Center. This wonderful opportunity was facilitated by
TRIBE Multidiscipinary Arts Collective ♥

Keep an eye out for updates on the growth of this work!
I can’t wait to share it with more people…

CPR Open Studios
curated by Sarah Michelson
May 2024

In May, I shared a bit of new research on a topic I intend to be in process with for a long time: LOVE
In this lovely evening shared with 3 other amazing artists, I presented
‘lover’ – conceptualized by me and performed with tattoo artist souptatu!

While my own writings on love – as well as excerpts from “all about love” by bell hooks – were projected into the space, I was stream of consciousness speaking about my 5 great loves. Simultaneously, souptatu was tattooing a ♥ on my wrist for each one of them…

It served as a ceremony marking the end of my 20’s and the harmful patterns I engaged in “love.”

‘El Nino’ at the Metropolitan Opera
April-May 2024

In March of this year, I started rehearsing for the incredible ‘El Nino’ opera by composer John Adams, directed by the incredible Lileana Blain-Cruz and choreographed by the otherworldly Marjani Forte-Saunders!

While I was cast as a cover, it was such a privilege to get to work with this cast of phenomenal, INSPIRING artists every day. It was definitely a highlight of my career to begin working at the MET Opera!

Can’t wait to be back soon :)

‘Yves Klein and the Tangible World’ at Lévy Gorvy Dayan Gallery
April-May 2024

For much of April & May, I sat inside of this small suspended box within the Lévy Gorvy Dayan Gallery for 4hrs at a time.
Through that tiny armhole, gallery-goers could reach in and touch my naked body.

This piece, ‘Sculpture Tactile’, was the brainchild of the revolutionary –and controversial– French artist, Yves Klein.
As someone who is committed to demystifying the human body, performing this piece was a deeply moving and spiritual experience.
I feel so connected to the body-based work that Yves created, which glorified the human body without sexualizing it.

It was an honor to embody this work, and I hope to do it again one day!
