clips (in order) of my solo from @mooningeveryone "catch_release" with @yeahthisjimmy going absolutely crazyyyy on the live sound design earlier this year🫶🏽🌪️🕊️will be reminiscing this week over and over again. everything about it was so cathartic and surreal <3
filmed by @stephaniehouten !!!
a month ago i spent love weekend in boston as a performer for @mooningeveryone "catch_release" 🎣🤍 thank you to olivia and the whole team for trusting me. truly an honor acting as a vessel in this massive and beautiful creation. what a surreal feeling it is being aligned with your work and the people involved.
coming into this process, i was slightly nervous about whether or not i could meet everyone's expectations and desires (including my own)
safe to say, i was met with nothing but compassion. the care, sensitivity, excitement, and laughs we exchanged with one another is something that'll be hard to ever forget. it surprised me how quickly i felt at home with this special group. this was an opportunity to breath again. i left that week more inspired than ever. more curious. full of love.
experiences like this remind me why i do this and what possibilities can exist as movers, artists, and lovers.

sometimes sharing on the feed makes me nauseous (still) so dropping this into one collection eases the pressure (i put on myself)
let me know which was your favorite! (song, video, moves, fit, etc.! whatever your heart desires)🤍
"her name was Pluto (episode 3)" presented at @bk_arthaus in november for @cirkusmoxie 👠 i have so much to say but found myself surprisingly overwhelmed while compiling this footage so my thoughts might be fuzzy. presenting a work this long (30+ min) in nyc was a milestone of mine that i never anticipated to accomplish last year. thank you to everyone involved that made this seed begin to sprout. thank you to everyone who was able to share their time with us physically or in spirit. i've said it before but seeing the amount of love that existed in that room was the missing puzzle piece to this work (in progress hah) "her name was Pluto" is ever-evolving, forever incomplete yet full of possibilities...and that's whole point of pluto. she visits me when i need her most. we take breaks, exist in our worlds, check in, debrief, create, and separate once again. she's an essence of myself i allow to manifest to her greatest capacity. with every version i share her, the more vulnerable and intimidating it feels.
i was so fortunate to bring @kennedyladams into pluto's multiverse as venus. i didnt expect our time in france frolicking and researching would lead us here but i'm so grateful. thank you for trusting me and my silly brain, you inspire me! i love you and am excited to continue digesting these characters through more chats, fights, screams, laughs, and awkward slow dances.
thank you to gina and cam for curating an incredible program and having me apart of this show. your constant and unwavering belief has made me feel more confident in my capabilities and that this is what i'm meant to do in this life.
more chances to share her means there's more characters to join pluto. stay tuned💫🪐

your favorite sag turned another year older which means another year with my fav aquarius @marlonturner_ 🫂🕊️
thank you @miyahhenderson x @inmiycloset for styling me, you're a true gem and i can't wait to continue playing dress up with you by my side!!🥹
this year was all about slowing down, prioritizing health, reconnecting with myself, and leaning onto loved ones. if anyone spoke with me, they knew how much i hated this year and how it was trying to take me out (quite literally hah) BUT I can't help leave this chapter with a warm heart. there were so many pockets of love and happiness that existed in between the hardships that kept me whole. the last few months have been a high and now i'm entering this new year with experiences and dreams i'm excited to dive into...i can't wait to share it all with you in due time🩶
