Control April 23-25 at 7 pm and 3 pm on April 25. The Chocolate Factory 38-33 24th Street, LIC TIX IN BIO I’m excited to share that my new work, Control, will premiere at The Chocolate Factory Theater from April 23–25. 🩷🩷🩷🩷 The piece is made in collaboration with downtown dance sweethearts Cayleen Del Rosario, Amelia Heintzelman, Owen Prum, and evan ray suzuki, with music directed by Matt Evans in collaboration with isa crespo pardo and David Leon. Lighting is by Madeline Best and costumes are by Kate Williams. Their collective, patient, intuitive work is a valentine to experimentation, and I can’t overstate the joy I feel making this with them. Beautiful photos by @tltshft

Sept 2025: Excerpt from Distances at @thekitchen_nyc created during Dance and Process Choreographed + directed by me Made in collaboration with + performed by Cayleen Del Rosario, Amelia Heintzelman, Owen Prum, Madison Greenstone, Matt Evans, and moi <3 Nov 2025: Photo of us rehearsing at @chocolatefactorytheater I’m beyond excited to share a new work at the Chocolate Factory Theater,—my first-ever evening-length commission. April 23–25: Please save the date! ⏳ This dance is created in close collaboration with Cayleen Del Rosario, Matt Evans, Amelia Heintzelman, Owen Prum, evan ray suzuki, and others. I can’t overstate how lucky I feel to make work alongside such singular, insanely talented artists. As I step into this next phase, I’m also asking for support. I’m aiming to raise $10,000 to produce the work: studio time, collaborator fees, and the shared labor that sustains this project as well as my lifelong project of making dance. If you’re able, every contribution, at any level, is genuinely meaningful. Tax-deductible one-time or recurring donations can be made at the link in my bio. Thank you for being part of my community and for believing in me and in this work. See you in the new year. With love and care! Ayano 🩷

I am touched by @weiss.soserious generosity in his reflection of my dance, a similar feeling I got when I first saw @temp.girl.1.2.3 mood board or heard a draft of @matt_evans_loves_music music. There is a shared understanding of what it is I’m trying to make—another artist taking the time to acknowledge where I’m at, and agreeing to walk down a murky dank path together. 🩷 From my split bill w @thatguywen at @danspaceproject 💒, link in bio
