“If We Took The Time”
Moments from my most recent work, this piece is the product of reflection, dealing with fears, and choosing ones best self
Thank you @michaelnaffier for producing a soundscape like no other, to guide and complement the many movements that I envisioned .
Thank you to my fellow performing artist, embodied practitioners, and friends @shea_hancock@brenxnn@johnledwithh@jasminerrobinson for going on this journey with me.

Blessed but bittersweet is the occasion and accomplishment of finishing what you start.
Thank you @usckaufman for hosting me these past 4 years. Thank you to the innumerable people who made what you see possible, and all of those whose conversations, actions, and prayers have helped me to come this far.

It was worth it.
Just a few of the people who helped turn a dream of mine into a achievement realized. I’m proud to say I graduated from THEE University of Southern California Glorya Kaufman School of Dance. ❤️💛
To the Class of ‘25, we have seen, experienced, and survived situations I know no class before us had to, and I hope no class after us will. Like @arjunkochhar03 said, I am leaving with pieces of each of you sewn into my craft, my consciousness, and my heart.
To the classes we leave behind, continue to creative, curious, and courageous. These are the traits of the ideal Kaufman in my mind. These are also the traits of the kind of human, necessary to pursue a life in dance.
