I am excited to share that I was invited to be a part of the project Voces Migrantes under the artistic direction of binational artist Adriana "Bibi" Carson. On Saturday February 5th, I led a dance workshop at the Home of Hope and Peace (HEPAC) Hogar de Esperanza y Paz in Nogales, Sonora México for 125 refugee women in residence from México (Guerrero), Guatemala and Haiti. This was one part of the Voces Migrantes project. The project consisted of two full days of dance work

Buddy and I were very excited to be a part of the second Arizona Drive In Dance Film Festival! An excerpt of Reflections from the Motherhood and the Performing Arts (MPA) Project created with filmmaker Dominic Bonuccelli was shown along with many other amazing films by AZ artists! The films were screened on January 12th & 13th at the Graduate Hotel in Tempe, AZ at 7:00pm, and live-streamed at the digital festival on January 23rd. Thank you Arizona Drive-in Dance Film Festiv
