Stamina was a dynamic visual experience for Project III that explored endurance—physical, emotional, and spiritual. Set against a dramatic interdisciplinary visual narrative, Stamina celebrated the power of resilience in motion.
The visual language drew from street style, contemporary dance, and experimental film, layering fast-paced sequences with slow, deliberate moments to mirror the ebb and flow of persistence. Whether staged, live, or through a cinematic lens, Stamina is not just about lasting—it's about evolving through pressure, fatigue, and passion.

Moderated by Flesh and Bone star Nadia Vostrikov (formerly Boston Ballet II), the panel featured celebrated artists Cassandra Trenary (ABT), Alexandra Hutchinson (Dance Theatre of Harlem), and Candy Tong (Complexions Ballet) in conversation. Together, they unpacked how dancers reclaim power within an art form shaped by a deeply gendered legacy.

It has been an honor to mentor Embodied Earth founder Nicole Jackson since 2023 as she has undertaken the ambitious vision to incorporate her climate art nonprofit. I worked as a creative director and producer for Garden of Voices, which culminated in a weekend of volunteering, community, and a site-specific walking dance performance at Frank White Community Garden. Our collaboration has been funded by Incite's Assembling Voices for a second show in 2025.
