Artist Statement
I believe in the art of communication and allowing dance to be a different way to communicate. My artistic development is inspired by the diversity of the world. I am constantly inspired by other cultures and how they communicate their art with the rest of the world. Although my movement is mostly fluid and somewhat traditional, I incorporate all different genres of dance. While some may have their eye on the big picture, I find myself truly appreciating and enjoying the little things in life. The small acts of kindness that the Earth has to offer and the resources we are blessed with. My choreographic style comes from within and reflects my experiences from traveling. I am very much inspired by music. I feel that music is something that everyone can relate to. It can unify an entire population, which to me is beautiful. I want my art to impact those around me as much as music has in the course of history. While music and the diversity of the world are a huge impact in my career thus far, I make it a point to understand the history of it all. With all this being said, I enjoy leaving my audience questioning my art. Why would I be so unclear? Because life takes us on journeys and everything happens for a reason. Therefore, dance takes us on a journey and anything can happen because anything happens all the time. |
