Opening night for Brave New Works last night!! Thank you @ozartsnashville for the opportunity to present a new work after making one 4 years during the inaugural lab. I am so proud of what we have made. These glorious cosmic women are a microcosm of the divine feminine and how magical women are. I’m so grateful and honored to present “Tears made the Ocean” with these rockstar friends. This dedicated to my family, and the love that is lost with nowhere to go when you lose your mothers/grand mothers.

This week at OZ Arts! The Brave New Works Lab brings you an inspiring evening of fresh performances by local artists, including Lenin Fernandez (@_lenin).

🌊 In “Tears Made the Ocean,” the Nashville-based choreographer dives into themes of grief, memory, and collective healing. Performed by a powerful cast of eight women, this work reminds us that even in our deepest emotional currents, we are never alone.

📅 See it alongside three other new works this Thur-Sat, May 14-16!
🎟️ Tickets at ozartsnashville.org.

What’s left when it feels like all has been taken and shed? It’s a gift and dreadful to wade in the waters of potentially. To not know what comes next; the beauty and magnitude of feeling nothing and everything. It’s been rough finding work after Life and Trust unexpectedly closed in April. So after months of waiting on unemployment, feeling lost, and savings gone I’m finally reaching out to the world. If you’re looking for someone to dance, assist, act, teach, throw some clothes on me or chreograph/movement direct for any projects I’m a free agent. I’m based in NY now but will travel if you’ll have me. It feels weird to ask for help while more important things are happening in the world but trying to remind myself that we deserve love and support. Miss @ninasimone always holding it down. Nashville, I’ll be in town for another week ish if ya wanna hang. #imveryseriousaboutmybullshitimprov

Alone Together: Vol.4

Can I be in stillness alone?

I’m shadowing a spinning thought.
Like looking at my own reflection in water.

Something rumbles.

Hi Nashville, I’m working on a full length and will be hosting community classes on Tuesdays at @danceast 11am. We will have rehearsal after class and anyone is welcome to join the process portion as a spectator or participant. First one is tomorrow morning if you have sometime. All classes will be donation based so whether or not you have the cash money. Come on down and move with us. Photo by @tbessire

Wiggles will commence after this short ad break. Had the privilege of subbing for @krystakematsu modern class at Chapman 4 times. We stayed in improv land and it was such a gift to see ideas we were discussing and cultivating to land. To see unbridled joy, risk taking, and love. I feel grateful to be able to share the some of the gifts/tools that were imparted to me from @jamsvy @spensermyles @tilmanod Their love and support is one of the largest things I try to share, because it was given endlessly to us to take chances and discover ourselves as people. Frameworks to dance through, and with a soft touch, live by. The gratitude I have for teachers is never ending. Look Ma, I taught at a college. Nico forevz #imveryseriousaboutmybullshitimprov
