So honored to receive the 2025 Women in the Arts & Media Coalition (@womenartsmedia ) Collaboration Award alongside the inspiring playwright Lynda Crawford (@lynriver ) for our work on her play, DUSK!
Huge thanks to DUSK! director Charles Bernard Murray (@cbm4th ) for introducing me to Lynda and bringing us together. A special thank you to my friends, dancers Alisa Gregory (@alisagregoryy ) and Erik Osterkil (@erik.ok ), for helping to bring my choreography to life—I’m so grateful to have brought you into this project.
DUSK! was a powerful journey, and I’m proud to have shared it with such a brilliant team who executed my choreography beautifully: Marie Louise (@sistahmarielouise ), James Harkness (@ijamesharkness ), and Claudine Jellison (@claudinejellison ). Onward and Upward!
