MY WORK

As a dance ethnologist and dance artist, I am always seeking to access my authentic choreographic voice through internal investigation, while also gaining cultural and spiritual understandings of the body through study of Caribbean, African and Indian diasporic dance forms. I seek to marry the wisdom of my own knowing with the wisdom of ancestral knowings. I seek to deconstruct and then reconstruct my own embodied practices to birth something new. This work of reshaping prompts questions of belonging and home. My work delves into the “in-between” spaces of identity and the mixed-race experience. My work is birthed from the personal, but through my various intersections (ie. Woman, Young Mother, Indo-Caribbean, American, Muslim, mixed), there is always something to be seen that is political. I utilize poetry through my performance and improvisation/somatic investigation is a key to my dance-making and ultimately my healing through dance.
