~Senior Studio 2026 “Ephemeral”~

What a beautiful culmination of lives creating, performing, and expressing something entirely unique to the current moment in time we share. I am so so honored to have led these humans this semester and to have been led by them + so many more both pictured and not.

Travis, thank you for cultivating an environment where we have permission to be so authentic.

Fellow seniors, you are all magical people and I am deeply honored to know literally each of you.

My cast, thank you for being vulnerable both on and off stage…and for sharing your heart with me.

Thank you all for helping put my heart back together. I am so incomprehensibly lucky.

I am excited to present my work “Jesus at the Gay Bar” at Dance Source Houston’s Mind The Gap on October 7th at MATCH. I’m sharing the program with fellow Houston area choreographers Emilie Anne, Amanda Monteith, Prerna Shrivathsan, Giuliana Velez-Turner, and Isabel Villegas.

This piece means so much to me and I am so glad to share it as my first professional choreography showcase. I want to dedicate it to the LGBTQ and Trans youth of our community. I love you and I see you.

"Everytime someone steps up and says who they are, the world becomes a better, more interesting place." - Raymond Holt, Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Tickets are available to experience the performance at MATCH or via livestream at matchouston.org/events/2025/mind-gap-xxxvii. I hope you can join us, either in the theater or virtually!

“This piece is about my experience about being a queer woman in the south and it takes inspiration from many lgbtq+ icons such as Venus Xtravaganza and Octavia St. Laurent. I arranged the music myself and it features sound clips from RuPaul, The Last Unicorn (1982), and videos from my high school years. I feel that even though being queer is so joyful and freeing, it can be difficult to come to terms with. This piece represents the turmoil going through my heart as a 15 year old trying to figure out who I was.”

this is my very first dance film, and even though it was filmed from an unreliable iphone 11 and my terrible camera skills are showing, i am still very proud of it. i was very nervous and weirdly embarrassed to show it to my whole class this morning but it was a relief to get this off my chest. i enjoy showing everyone what i’m truly made of. even if it looks like shit.

thank you 🩵💚
