Conduit (2017) 💡🎬
Presented at Dance on Camera Lincoln Center
Full Video in Bio 🔗
Conduit is an exploration of physical resistance to change. This short film takes the viewer into the mind of a young woman battling a manifestation of her duality and a desire to evolve.
Q: What are you working on right now?
A: A series of moving portraits with my collaborator, Nola Donkin. She offers me beautiful set pieces that allow me to create female archetypes that feel like they already live inside of me but are finally getting space to be seen and embodied. We’re currently editing our AMAPOLA piece, which weaves in cultural symbols — the Puerto Rican flower, white rice, white plastic fans — objects that carry memory, ritual, and domestic intimacy. Each piece is accompanied by lullabies I’ve written, along with narration that adds another layer of voice and presence. I’m inspired by the way sound, object, and body can exist together to create something that feels both personal and collective at the same time.

Madre Project Launch 👏🏼
For the past few years, we’ve been creating an intimate space for adults to reconnect with performance and dance.
Last weekend, we hosted our very first fall performance season.
The most beautiful part was welcoming the dancers’ families and friends into the theatre — hearing their questions about the process, witnessing their curiosity, and sharing in so many hugs and smiles.
Without a doubt, this has been one of the most wholesome projects I’ve ever been a part of.
Endless thanks to @ccsmith89 for producing the entire season so beautifully. Truly looking forward to what’s next.
