SATURN is an artistic commitment to nurturing futuristic optimism through a series of multimedia dance productions and the scientific research of how we cultivate liberation from oppression through our bodies.
Projects included in the series:

SATURN: A Revelation… (2024)
A Tale of Fire & Flight (2026 / work-in-progress/film)
Chiron in Leo (2021)
This is the tale of Chiron, a dancer whose bout with depression and anxiety summons them back to their childhood wounds to remember a lesson about survival. Chiron in Leo’s tale is inspired by the Greek myth and astrological significations of Chiron, the wounded healer.
The Space Between Words (2017)
In this performance, two friends talk about their mental health as they dance and explore contact improvisation. While the conversations speak to depression, anxiety, and dismantling patriarchy, it is the movement of two Black men that speaks loudest.
Holding Onto Innocence (2016)
My 5-year old nephew asked me, “why are the police killing little Black kids?” and, for the first time, I was faced with explaining the truth of the world while attempting to preserve his innocence.
Holding Onto Innocence is the result of contending with what we do to maintain our “innocence”.
