I'm really honored and excited that a short film that I made will premiere at VastLab Experimental in LA tomorrow night, January 20 at 7! For friends and artists out in LA, check out @thevastlab and their program of incredible work tomorrow night. It's a dream start to 2024!

I'm so bad at announcing things, but maybe the time difference works in my favor here?

For the last couple of years, I have been working and reworking this piece that's part tribute to Cholly Atkins and part tribute to the complexity of black life.

I was lucky enough to find several artists who are also supremely talented and generous people to come along for the ride. Now, we get to share in the experience with all of you!

I'm so late on this, but I've spent the past two weeks enjoying a new setting. I've configuring and reconfiguring some artistic projects.

Happy to have this time at @marblehouseproject and to have another week left to keep thinking and chatting with really cool people!

Yo! @adrianaogle is completing a really cool piece as partner an Emerging Choreographer's Series.

I'm always happy to work with people that I respect and appreciate, and I know that loving art means supporting art and artists.

I'm excited to head to VCCA next week as a fellow to work on some choreography. I'm going to be editing music, film, and tap dancing, trying to get in touch with my inner Pip.
