Transitions & turntables

Spatial sound Composer + Audiovisual designer

Transitions serve as the silent orchestrators of our journey in the rhythm of life. As a DJ and artist, I have come to understand the profound significance of transitions in music and the intricate tapestry of human existence. Transitions & Turntables is a reverent exploration of the transitional spaces we navigate, both in sound and soul.

The time spent during this fellowship signified my transition as an artist, delving into new software, honing techniques, and embarking on a journey of self-discovery.  In this sonic odyssey, every beat drop is a culmination of sound and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, embracing change with open arms and turning it into art.

I invite you to witness the intersection of musical exploration and personal transformation—moments of introspection meticulously curated and scratched in with fervor on my turntables. Let's celebrate the beauty of evolution and the power of music to accompany us through every twist and turn of life's extraordinary dance.

The Toulmin Fellowship was established to foster collaboration between women composers and choreographers, and is in partnership with National Sawdust and The Center for Ballet and the Arts, at NYU, generously supported by the Virgina B. Toulmin Foundation. Toulmin Fellows receive financial support, time, and space to develop their work, as well as continued programming and infrastructure for the growing Toulmin alumni community. The artists have access to CBA’s community of fellows and alumni and the broad resources of NYU, immersing them in a community of scholars and a rich, intellectual environment where they can take risks, try new ideas, and receive feedback. National Sawdust provides expert mentorship to further inform the fellows’ work and feature their works-in-progress and/or performances through its MOTIF on-line platform and at other live performance and work-in-progress showing opportunities.

The CBA and National Sawdust partnership, with generous support from the Virginia B. Toulmin Foundation, has supported more than 55 women choreographers and composers to help develop their skills, create and present new work, and build a community of artists with diverse training and perspectives. The program is committed to supporting choreographers and composers who are historically underrepresented in the field, by gender, race, or ethnicity. A majority of the program participants are women of the global majority.
