What Remains

What does it mean to inherit a cycle – cycles of hope and joy, cycles of generational trauma, cycles of violence in the country where I was born, cycles of violence in the country where I live, and cycles of violence that have occurred and continue to occur around my family?

Through What Remains, I reject complicity, choosing instead to take matters into my own body – to process, to resist, and hopefully, one day, to break the cycles I was born into. 

Journey

A lifelong initiative aimed at collecting 1.5 million dancers in a collective journey as they improvise their own survival journeys through a series of unique performances addressing intergenerational trauma
