Performance
As a dancer I have had the opportunity to perform and travel with a variety companies and institutions ranging from universities, a cruise line, and several dance companies. Below are a few select videos and images from my performances.
Hymn
This work was created in honor of the beautiful lost life of Jamarious Stewart - a fellow dance artist and friend. Work was choreographed by my lifelong mentor and friend Cornelius Carter.
US/THEM
This collaborative work was created in partnership with fellow dancer Anne Howard and musician Bob Roche. This dance speaks to the power imbalances that existing between the few and the many.
Intersecting Bodies
This collaborative, interdisciplinary work was performed as a part of the 2018 ArtWalk First Friday’s Event hosted by the City of Eugene, Oregon. Original concept and performance was by Shannon Mockli and Farhad Braham. Other dancers were invited to participate in this experience in order to allow for different perspectives and voices. Topics of cross-cultural interaction, proximity, touch, and barriers between bodies were explored. Click for Eugene Weekly Review by E. Barkai
Exposed
This solo exploration was inspired by the concepts of tactility, vulnerability, and being exposed. This project was completed as part of a graduate seminar class.
Doleful/Soulful
This trio was born out of my attraction to the sounds of The Temptations, and was fueled and further influenced by personal familiar and familial relationships. I was both the choreographer and dancer of this work.
