CICLOS
The moon’s ever-transforming presence is recognized by many cultures as a symbol for cycles and the duration of time. CICLOS explores the cyclical links between the moon, water, and earth, and the intersectional experience of being Queer and Chicano living in the Southwest.
Through repetitive movement phases and partnering the piece transforms into a ritual that delves into new beginnings and feelings of belonging. Featuring Martin Quintana and Joe Herrera.

American Dream Nightmare: Los Angeles, started as a way to heal from my anti-black experiences during Covid.
In seeing homelessness grow around me along with the threat of evictions, I started to question how poverty has never prevailed black people to lose their deep humanity. What were my mothers, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers’ dreams of freedom living in Jim Crow America? What remnants of slavery were they running from and what was I still trying to escape today?
ADN: HTWYU is a creative intervention to dismantle white supremacy, create new myths of empowerment and transformation for Black bodies to thrive, and dispel old myths that distort and destroy. It is a project that is interested in whipping the White gaze into submission without causing Black extinction.

Caput Medusae
“You’re not watching what your brush is doing, but you’re watching the spaces around it… you’re watching what it isn’t doing so that you’re taking care of both the negative space and the positive space” -Ruth Asawa
Caput Medusae is a devised, physical exploration of ma as it relates to our preconceived notions about space-density in theater making and embodied creation. This piece is inspired by Ruth Asawa’s paper sculpture work and writings from her archive. Basically, I’m going to be moving my body around with large sheets of paper, investigating those little spaces in between.
