ARTIST STATEMENT
I am a Filipino-American dance artist, and my journey is one driven by a profound love. A love for movement, connection, and the limitless potential of the human body. To me, the body is the ultimate architectural masterpiece, a vessel of creativity and resilience that carries the stories of our triumphs, struggles, and dreams.
My work and teachings strives to be a symphony of disciplines, blending dance with other artistic forms to craft immersive experiences where performers transcend the boundaries of performance. These are spaces where the physical and mental barriers of what we believe possible are challenged, broken, and reimagined. Every movement, every gesture, becomes a testament to the strength of the human spirit.
This journey of mine has been shaped by sacrifice, love, and loss. Through years of touring and performing across the globe, I have witnessed the universal language of dance and the way it unites, heals, and inspires. It is in these shared spaces, with dancers and audiences alike, that I find the heartbeat of my artistry. A relentless belief in the resilience of the human spirit.
For me, dance is more than a performance. It is a celebration of our capacity to feel, endure, and transform. It is a canvas on which the boundless possibilities of our strength and emotion are painted. In every creation, I seek to inspire, and to remind us all, (dancers and observers) that within our bodies and spirits lies an infinite well of potential waiting to be discovered, shared, and celebrated.
