As a choreographer my intention is to introduce the audience and dancers into a beautiful world that brings them into a new reality. I’m drawn to music that keeps my imagination limitless. I’m a strong believer in individuality and I’m attracted to dancers that dare to be different. I’m enamored with connecting different energies on stage and playing with the dancers similarities and differences. As the audience views my choreography I want them to experience dynamic movement, a story unfolding, and the process of unveiling their own meaning and connection. Trusting my instincts is a vital element in my choreographic process and I believe that your imagination can allow you to take risks. I want to make statement and convey how art is a very powerful way of showing human connections.

We are watching, in real-time, the political workings of code-switching break down and become visible. W.E.B Du Bois argued that a kind of racial “double consciousness” is formed when one is consistently forced to “look at oneself through the eyes of others.” Redding’s choreography maps the psychic and somatic manifestations of this burdensome reality.
