I'm really honored and excited that a short film that I made will premiere at VastLab Experimental in LA tomorrow night, January 20 at 7! For friends and artists out in LA, check out @thevastlab and their program of incredible work tomorrow night. It's a dream start to 2024! I'm so bad at announcing things, but maybe the time difference works in my favor here? Link to tickets in bio.

This weekend, November 5th at 6:00pm, I have the distinct privilege of being in conversation with 4 great artists who will be showcasing work that challenges our perceptions of time. Be sure to come by to see their work and listen to the conversation. Link for tickets in my bio.

For the last couple of years, I have been working and reworking this piece that's part tribute to Cholly Atkins and part tribute to the complexity of black life. I was lucky enough to find several artists who are also supremely talented and generous people to come along for the ride. Now, we get to share in the experience with all of you!

I'm so late on this, but I've spent the past two weeks enjoying a new setting. I've configuring and reconfiguring some artistic projects. Happy to have this time at @marblehouseproject and to have another week left to keep thinking and chatting with really cool people!

So pumped to be working on a dope project with friends. @dancermlove has put together a really beautiful and thought-provoking show with collaborators, DeForrest Brown Jr. And Ariel "Aryel" René Jackson. I'm so honored to be a part of this work, so if you're in or around Austin, Texas purchase tickets through Fusebox Festival and come out to the Ground Floor Theater.

Yo! @adrianaogle is completing a really cool piece as partner an Emerging Choreographer's Series. I'm always happy to work with people that I respect and appreciate, and I know that loving art means supporting art and artists. Link in bio if you're able to donate.

I'm excited to head to VCCA next week as a fellow to work on some choreography. I'm going to be editing music, film, and tap dancing, trying to get in touch with my inner Pip. #motownrealness #blackqueerart #tapdance [Photo ID: A long connecting building with several silos is pictured in front of sprawling mountains ad the sun sets with the words VCCA Fellow featured]

If you're in NYC, I'll be premiering a show at 8:30pm this Friday, August 6th at Arts On Site as part of their Rhythym and Soul Stories curated by the incredible @penelopejw ! I'm so excited to show some work exploring black sound and the movements secular and spiritual that appear, reappear, weave together, and inform one another. Join me, and help me fill these seats ('cause it's always an exchange)! Get tickets using the link in my bio.
