DANCE ARTIST, SCHOLAR, FACILITATOR.

“My body is the archive, the bridge, and the catalyst.”
Sádé Budhlall,
A Living Practice in Becoming.

I believe in the power of movement to build trust, hold complexity, and affirm the creative agency we carry in our bodies. Because of this, I am drawn to pedagogical practices that centers embodied social praxis, entangling care, criticality, and collective agency through the body.

It invites artists to engage their lived experience and cultural inheritance as sites of knowledge, while navigating complex shared realities to generate healing, disrupt colonial structures, and reclaim movement as a political and liberatory act.
