Beneath , 2021
Choreopoem (5 minutes 48 seconds)

“Beneath” is about someone being labor and sex trafficked, and their response to that trauma.


“I really feel art reaches people on a deeper level than information alone. We consume so much information, but art engages our hearts and our minds and resonates with us long after we experience it. Art crosses language, time, comprehension, and a myriad of other barriers. It’s freeing — there’s no limit or constriction around how art might speak to us. It allows people to approach it wherever they are at, whether they’re coming in to just see something beautiful or they’re ready to be moved to action.”
