Choreographed Pieces:

"When I R.I.P." 2021

Synopsis: 'When I R.I.P' symbolizes the intensity of substance abuse. The featured dancer, @trevor_mazzei represents pure delirium, and as a whole group, dancers represent the battle between getting help, and accepting that help. Throughout, there are various 'highs' and 'lows' which symbolize intense emotional fluctuations, coordinating with symptoms such as, withdrawal, euphoria, symptom recurrence, and depression. This piece is meant to spread awareness, and to encourage more empathy for people who may struggle with addiction in any capacity, and strongly urge people to reach out and accept help.

“The Bug Collector” 2022

Synopsis: "The Bug Collector" is a contemporary/interpretative piece which aims to showcase a journey in processing trauma, along with the lurking feelings of dread and/or anxiety one may feel when trying to move forward from a traumatic event. Dancers navigate their own intense emotions and triggers, all while empathizing with others and finding solace in those navigating a similar terrain.

“Vienna” 2024

Synopsis: “Vienna" encapsulates the relentless, self-consuming nature of today's hyper-capitalistic workforce, constantly pushing individuals to innovate and grow for the sake of profit maximization regardless of personal discretion. Within this piece, dancers tirelessly prioritize their careers over personal fulfillment, yearning for reprieve. This dance serves as a poignant reminder that our existence should not be defined by the pursuit of material wealth or goods, but rather by embracing the richness and beauty of life itself.

“I think about it all the time” 2025

Synopsis: “I think about it all the time” is a moving exploration of the universal anxieties and complexities that accompany life, love and the pursuit of success in a world that often feels too fast-paced to enjoy the present moment. An all-too relatable fear, the feeling of “running out of time”, plagues the human experience—whether it’s a missed opportunity in love or the pressure to achieve career success. Society often places an overwhelming expectation to succeed in both by a very young age. Dancers face the impossible choice between love and career: whether to pursue a relationship that may impede their professional ambitions, or prioritize their career, potentially risking the loss of a meaningful connection. This dilemma reveals the unfair reality that balancing both paths seems almost unattainable, as it often feels that the person you choose to spend your life with directly shapes the trajectory of your own, making the decision between love and career an incredibly difficult one to navigate.
