Brazilian-born, Canadian-built. Trained in classical ballet through Centro de Arte y Ballet in Mexico and Goh Ballet Academy in Vancouver. Performed with the Goh Ballet Youth Company, Vancouver Opera, and on an eleven-city tour of Chinese universities with North Star Performing Arts.

That chapter closed. The work since has been quieter, less visible, and more interesting: independent ventures built from Vancouver Island, the slow rebuild of a body and a life, and the writing that comes from doing those things in real time.

For the full story, the blog has the real version.
