Multidisciplinary Performance Art 
Dance & movement therapy
 

I am a multidisciplinary performance artist working across dance, body-based practices, video, and sound. I hold a BA in Performance and Theatre and an MA in Dance Movement Therapy. My work moves between performance, installation, curation, and collective workshops.

​

 

I work extensively with states of liminality, exploring them in their many shapes and forms. As a queer migrant, my life has been defined by inhabiting the in-between: between lands, languages, identities, and ways of expression. These experiences naturally seep into my artistic practice, which seeks to create spaces where imagination can emerge, spaces that challenge what already exists and allow other modes of being to surface. In that shift, new possibilities emerged: spaces that could hold difference without translation, spaces that could nurture collective presence, and spaces that could exist outside dominant frameworks of productivity and legibility.

​

 

My practice interrogates migration, exile, and the politics of the body. It addresses identity fragmentation within racialized, sexual, and gendered contexts, employing performance, video, archival research, and ritualized cultural practices. Centered on corporeal experience, I investigate how social, historical, and spatial forces shape embodiment and artistic expression. My practice critically challenges dominant narratives of identity, proposing nuanced frameworks for understanding the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and displacement.
