Dance as Liberation
Dance as a Liberation is an ongoing movement-based practice that positions dance as a tool for personal agency, collective healing, and embodied storytelling. Rooted in the belief that the body holds memory, wisdom, and emotion beyond language, the project uses movement to reconnect participants and audiences to their inner landscapes, cultural lineages, and shared humanity. Drawing from improvisation, ritual, somatic awareness, and intuitive movement, Dance as a Liberation creates spaces where the body becomes a site of release, resilience, and transformation. The work exists at the intersection of community engagement and performance, treating movement not only as aesthetic expression but as a vital, accessible practice for grounding, connection, and presence.
Moving with the Orishas
My dance practice with the Orishas began long before it was witnessed on a stage. For over 16 years, I have moved in communion with forces such as Oya and Yemaya—learning through rhythm, surrender, and embodied listening. In 2013, this relationship was first shared publicly as part of Oshun Re-Imagined, but the work itself is devotional rather than performative. These videos hold fragments of that living practice—where wind, water, breath, and body meet in remembrance.
