“Finding myself between mediums and artistic contexts, my practice explores notions of care, attention, embodiment, vulnerability, and collectivity. My creative process might begin when I sense some kind of gap or incongruity in my daily life - often echoing in my body and mind - and I attempt to make it visible or tactile through performance, choreography, writing, sound, and more. Currently, I am writing on the intersections between deep listening and somatic movement.”
