I found my photo with Hans ❤️ This is 2011, after our premiere at Theaterhaus Stuttgart with Gauthier Dance. Grateful for the time shared in the studio and on stage. Remembering Hans van Manen and his lasting impact on dance.

Carmen De Lavallade was my Elements of Performing teacher at Juilliard, but more than that, she was a living example of kindness, elegance, and artistry.

Captured at Juilliard, around 2003 🕺🏽

Thank you, Carmen ❤️

🎧 Yes, I’m practicing DJing a lot lately — and for good reason! 🕺🏽 I’ve been invited to the Tinguely Museum to share my music, and I think this is the best way to do it!

Big shoutout to my homie Zen (aka Dovecake) for mentoring me on this musical journey. 🙏🏽🎵

A little throwback to the DANCE! exhibition at the Museum für Kommunikation in Bern — featuring work originally created for SEXY – The Driving Force of Life at the Natural History Museum Basel.
What a joy to see this project travel and continue inspiring movement and connection.
