18s from solace I stepped into the role of “the child” which appeared in my previous work and was originally set on Nicole Arakaki. So grateful for this container to research the second embodiment of this character as both performer and creator. dancing alongside Madi O’Halloran @madi.o.h Louise Coleman @louise.coleman_02 with music performance by Zachary Pagliaro @zacharypagliaro rehearsal assistants/understudies Nicole Arakaki @nicolearakaki___ Rosa Wolff @rosaawolff premiered at THAT SHOW- Fri Dec 12, 2025 @thatshownyc

Emergent Improvsation was my portal back into dancing after a ~3 year hiatus. I would go to decompress, process, and research whatever happened in the mind and body that week, and just kept coming. I’ve had the great privilege of hosting these sessions since 2023, and it has taught me so much about how we be together, how we dance together, and how we dream together. Emergent Improvisation is a practice of presence and play. Crafted by Troy Ogilvie and Omar Zubair and built from the teachings of adrienne maree brown's Emergent Strategy, we take a democratized approach to dance improvisation, engaging in a deep sense of listening to activate the body, movement, sound, and environment as tools and sites for creative investigation. Bookended by sharing circles, we begin with a meditative warmup that encourages grounding and somatic awareness, then build momentum by accessing ease, groove, and play to create an ecosystem of community care. Our class invites artistic exploration, witnessing, risk-taking, and creating new possibilities. I host these Fridays, 4pm at Gibney @gibneyeducation Jan 16 Feb 20 Feb 27 check out bio.site/emergent.improvisation to see when Troy, Uila, and Lucia host! If cost is a barrier, dm me for limited guest/half-guest passes!! Photo by @owen.burnham , featuring @surachael , @jpfriday , @alex_francois , and troy ogilvie.

What a great joy and privilege it was to perform in both pieces of this split bill, and thread a narrative between these seemingly disparate worlds ❄️ also these are kinda scary times and it’s really cold out there, so let’s hold onto moments of joy AND do the work Stills from ✨Portrait of Three Sisters choreographed by: @lucy.fm dancing alongside: @megansiepka @veronica_allen 🍐paradise? created by: @ntaliafrnandez dancing alongside: @liizwestbrook @ellie_houlihan @ntaliafrnandez @edu_tair @cara.marguerite @cayla.vinz for Common Space #8 at @creaturespacenyc 📸: @phinn.with.an.f

premiering “solace” at THAT SHOW- Fri Dec 12, 2025 @thatshownyc In part two of a trilogy of works that take place in a landscape of memory, we find solace in forgetting by embodying an emotional state. dancing alongside 👻 Madi O’Halloran @madi.o.h 🪵 Louise Coleman @louise.coleman_02 with music performance by Zachary Pagliaro @zacharypagliaro rehearsal assisting/understudies Nicole Arakaki @nicolearakaki___ Rosa Wolff @rosaawolff 🎟️ ticket and fundraising page linked in bio! + a bit of a manifesto on art making in a capitalistic society, also pasted here: Dear friends, I will forever be amazed by humanity’s capacity to invent and innovate, to adapt and survive. And yet, despite achievement, so much has also suffered, disintegrated, and disappeared. In our pursuit of a modern, frictionless society, the practice of art seems meaningless: it creates no profits, produces no measurable efficiencies, and offers no return on investment. It refuses to justify itself by the metrics that society has imposed on us to value. And still, the practice of art-making persists, even when deprived of resources—time, material, money— because something within us insists we create anyway. To me, art-making is world-building. It is the act of constructing containers in which we can turn up the volume on what it means to be human, to be alive. And when the curtain closes, we carry the best parts of that world back into our beautifully ordinary, everyday lives. I am dreaming of a world in which I can compensate my artistic collaborators a fair and living wage without needing to submit to institutions where a handful of employees decide whether our art is “worth” their dollar. If you have the capacity to support your friends and loved ones making art, please do.
