audio and score samples
GOOD MORNING is a theatrical collage of sentiments that occur throughout 4 major stages of a relationship.
PRIMA MATERIA (Edmonton 2021) or first matter, is the primitive formless base of all matter similar to chaos, the quintessence or aether. The thematic piece explores the concept of the world as a living being, and how the intense transformations within the universe are relative on an individual and collective level.
Excerpt from Estar remando en dulce de leche (Bogotá, 2019). An awkward story of wandering identity; a girl who grows up knowing she is half Argentinian.... and later discovers she is also half Norwegian.
Happiness is fleeting...Cyclical is a visceral demonstration, divided into “mini-movements” which repeat the same notion in various formats. Elements of theatrics, sound sculpture, and audience participation accentuate the humour and darkness that is the self.
When I first wrote this piece, I thought it was about a love so deep it wasn't possible to put it into words....Years later, I discovered that it was because I didn't feel comfortable in the relationship dynamic, I didn't feel comfortable expressing my feelings, I didn't feel comfortable being myself.
