Tender is the Night (in process)
Tender is the Night is an immersive dance experience that explores the depth and nuance of Black femininity. Through movement, the work honors the strength, vulnerability, and compassion that define sistahood and kinship. It is a poetic reflection on Black women coming together—holding space for one another, healing through connection, and finding resilience in shared tenderness—a world where intimacy, care, and legacy take center stage.

Ethereal Bodies:
Anointed, Divine, & Black
Ethereal Bodies: Anointed, Divine & Black focuses on creating healing prayers through movement and investigates the transformational possibilities that water offers Black women with their own radical self-care and liberation in community. “If water offered Black women everything we needed, healing, adaptability, grounding, joy, restoration, resilience, who would we be?” This work answers the question as a hope, prayer, dream, and manifesto of Black female futurity and possibility. This project is a love letter from Black Millennial women to the Black women of Generation Z.

Therapié Au Chocolat
Thérapie au Chocolat is a dance film that centers rituals of healing in water. Experienced as both meditation and prayer, the film unfolds by the ocean, where movement and waves merge into a continuum. Rooted in the African diasporic concept of wholism—having no beginning and no end—the work flows with cyclical rhythms that echo the sea itself. Through the continuity of gesture and image, performers commune with nature and the divine, offering the viewer an embodied experience of restoration and spiritual intimacy.

Communion
Communion is a ritual performance that deconstructs personal and collective spiritual experiences in dialogue with nature. Drawing on my background and those of the dancers, the work honors our African past and American present, seeking transcendence through movement and spirit. Inspired by Lamban from Guinea and Mali and rooted in the Black Pentecostal church, the piece explores how recollection, release, and shared embodiment can open pathways to spiritual freedom.
