Artist Statement
Dance is the medium in which I choose to express myself – my life experiences, who I am, and how I identify as a human being on this Earth. My art explores the intrinsic connection between myself as a mover and an athlete. I find peace in the juxtaposition that is a strong facility with a fluid exterior, for it is this balance that captures the essence of humanity. I believe that dance is not done to find who we are, but who we can become. Dance is a transcendental artform that shapes the future, all while defining past experiences. Dance is an everchanging form of expression and education, and it is these two facets that I want to bring into the next generation of movers through intentional and direct intention. Through dance, I find myself, but I also see who I want to become and how I want to bring this expression into the world.
My Mission
My mission is to bring my conscious mind into my movement, showcasing the complexity and intention that exists within dance. I am dedicated to constantly seeking educational growth to bring into my own artistic pursuits and to instill in the next generation of dancers. I value an approach that prioritizes the human spirit, integrating rigorous movement with an artistic drive, truly encapsulating my yearning for movement.
My Vision
As a dancer aspiring to bring artistic wealth to the next generation, I hope to spread the value of educational proficiency in the spaces that work to instill the value of dance as an art form. I will utilize my versatile background as a foundation to seek experiences and opportunities that enlighten myself as a dancer, both in a performance space and an educational space. I envision a future where my deliverance provides dancers with the space to develop as human beings and find their own path within this craft, influencing my artistic pursuits in the process.
