Ongoing Works
The Maze
The Maze is a devised multidisciplinary solo performance with live music, blending movement, theater, poetry, text, and technology to challenge conventional notions of womanhood. Drawing inspiration from lived experiences and the stories of women navigating patriarchal structures, the work engages the audience with an aim to ignite dialogue in the community about women, body autonomy, and agency.
The Maze has been recognized by the Izzies with an award for Outstanding Achievement in Music, Sound, and Text for its work-in-progress showcase at the Studio 210 Summer Residency.
While the performance itself is kid friendly, the content is best understood by patrons 13 and up.

Finding Joy
"Finding Joy" is an ensemble work that celebrates the beauty of everyday life, sharing individual experiences of navigating the modern world.
This work brings contemporary relevance to Bharatanatyam practice and presentation. Through themes of love, nostalgia, community, and art that bring joy amid the constant pressure of a competitive world, the performance becomes a mirror through which the audience may see parallels with their own lives and experiences.
