Choreography

I make art to make my audience feel something, move them in a way that is from deep within. I make art to escape from the world and go into my own little reality and live in there until my performance is over. I get inspiration from the experiences I have been through. God put me through enough ups and downs for me to be able to create an entire dance show. From the relationships I have formed and the journey I have been through is all explained through the movements I create. The happy times, the sad times and the times where I didn’t think I can hold on any longer to this reality I am living in is when I am most creative. I feed off of the energy I am surrounded by from people and also the emotions I have from the thoughts in my head. I also get my inspiration from music. I connect with music in a way that is so special to me and takes me into a whole other place. The music takes me to the beach with the wind in my hair, the sand between my toes and the sight of the beautiful sun setting between the clouds and ocean. I can see it, I can feel it and it transports me into movement that makes me happy. The music can take me to a dark night, with the raining pouring and crashing hard on the ground. Lightning and thunder follow which vibrates up my feet to the top of my head and creates the ridged, uncomfortable movement. This is the darkest and saddest place for me to go. It is important for my art to have a place in this world. Emotions can drive one’s soul that is so hard to explain, so why not explain through the movement of your body. I believe my art is unique because I am able to connect with a concept with all of my being and give my all into what I am creating. It’s not just dance moves, but a meaning, a purpose behind the movements. The meaning of my art is to release tension that is held onto. To let go, live in the moment, and dance your heart away. We all have those days where a friend does us wrong, your job is not taking you anywhere, or your thoughts are taking over your control and all you want to do is let go. That is the time to open up and accept what is happening. Feel the pain now in that moment so you never have to feel it again. Feel it, accept it and grow from it, but don’t let it make you feel that way again. Dance is a beautiful art that helps open up what is within and let go of what is holding someone back.
