the child of two Mesoamerican Archaeologists, I was raised understanding “work” as the intersection of physical labor, radical thinking, imagination and honoring those who lived before us. I identify as an interdisciplinary dance artist. I dance, I sing, I write, I draw, I build things. Through a collaging of movement, sound & design practices, I make performances that invite witnesses to wonder, feel and dream. My work finds kinship with the lineage of experimental artists, organizers and dreamers who create in feminine and feminist resistance to capitalism and white supremacy's urgency, hyperproductivity & disembodiment. In my process, I excavate the personal, the systemic, the unknown, the radical, the cellular and the beautiful. Embracing a creative process that centers experimentation, research, and intuition, I create both solo and ensemble works. In group processes, I direct spaces of multimedia, multiracial, multi gendered and multigenerational collaboration that prioritize human-centered art making. In working to do this, I understand that part of my process is risk and learning from both success and failure. 
​
my work is asking how we transform this world together
my work is understanding where i came from
my work is listening from the back of the eyes and to the marrow inside my bones
my work is constructing utopias from our current dystopia
my work is unlearning
my work is building relationships that will endure the revolution

i make to make sense of the world and move towards the horizon of a better one.
