Solo Performance Video. April 15, 2020 Filmed in my room in FL. Choreography 4 Module, BFA Dance, University of South Florida I was studying abroad in the first quarter of the year when COVID hit. We flew back home from Paris, France on March 16, and I was forced to continue my studies indoors. This solo was my final task for the choreographic module on the BFA Dance track. This piece stems from the theme of “imprinted isolation,” explored through semantics and imagery. I began by unpacking the layered meanings of isolation—separation, seclusion, shielding, exile—and improvised movement to embody the way each word sounded and felt. The phone hidden inside my shirt created a sense of inaccessibility, a private world tucked away—evoking aloneness, secrecy, and discomfort. Three mirrors surrounded me, multiplying my reflection to confront and exhaust the idea of solitude—emphasizing that even when alone, we are surrounded by fragments of self.

Ensemble Performance December 2021 Laban Studio Theatre, UK Rehearsal footage for MFA Choreography Module. This piece was presented in part of my Choreographic Methodologies Module for the MFA in Choreography at Trinity Laban Conservatoire for Music and Dance. Perception of Action was a part of a long research journey that I explored while creating new choreography and understanding the perspective of dancers with improvisation. Rhythm and sound are explored through dancers responding to audio stimulus that is formulated by improvisational tasks to create movement which can develop variation and interpretation to each individual mover and audience members. This research methodology was focusing on repetition, attention to detail, and different music genres.

Solo Performance for Video August 17, 2023 Filmed in Laban Studio, UK An improvisational dance score was built on the semantics of the title name, the musical queues, and a creative movement flow which arose from dialogue and imagery.

La Catrina walks in silence,with her hat and hollow smile,in her bones she carries storiesof time and its eternal style. A todos nos iguala, sin distinción,a ricos, a pobres, a jóvenes, ancianos,porque en su danza nos encontramosen un mismo suelo, en el mismo llano. She makes us equal, every one,rich and poor, young and old,for in her dance we all will meeton the same earth, in the same fold. Nos recuerda que somos polvo y esencia,que lo eterno se lleva lo efímero,y con su risa nos enseñaque la vida es breve, lo verdadero eterno. She reminds us we’re dust and essence,that the eternal absorbs the brief,and with her laughter she teaches usthat life is fleeting, the true is chief. La Catrina es guía, es espejo,es recordatorio de nuestra humanidad,que al final, en la paz de los huesos,todos somos uno en la inmensidad. La Catrina is a guide, a mirror,a reminder of our shared humanity,for in the peace of bone and marrow,we all are one in eternity."
