She has performed across Southern California and internationally in San Juan Sacatepequez, Guatemala, and Kiel, Germany. Jayde’s choreography, sound design, and costuming received Gala selections at ACDA’s 2023 and 2024 Baja Conferences, as well as an “Excellence in Dance-Making” distinction upon graduation. In Las Vegas, she has contributed to various gallery spaces and recently debuted a solo exhibition featuring live performances and video installations at South Square Studios. In her work Year 2080, Jayde and dancers magnify the spectacular absurdity of the elite in a whimsically eerie dystopia. Performers find themselves on a journey from apathy to catastrophe through four segments of theatrical-contemporary movement.

The Journey by Mary Oliver
June’s Creative Expressions believes dance is not just art—it is resistance, resilience, and revolution. Rooted in radical empathy and intersectionality, JCE prioritizes collaboration with artists who share the commitment to mental health advocacy and social justice. Through performances, workshops, and community engagement, JCE aims to: Collaborate: Unite the divide
Cultivate: Nurture the growth of the Union
Create: Build a space in which we can grow
“We dance to survive, to connect, and to imagine a world where everybody is free.”
Social Standards discusses the pressures that society places on queer individuals and the way they choose to live their lives. It is a form of protest for independence and freedom of personal expression. The right to love in the way they choose and the right to not live their life in fear.

BK Dance Project
If I am with you
BK Dance Project, based in New York City, has been creating numerous dance works that delve into human experiences, sharing powerful, dynamic movements with delicate expressions that embody emotion in motion. Overcoming sadness through contemporary dance can be a profound and healing experience.
The piece 'If I Am With You' expresses a deeply complex emotion, capturing the loneliness, sorrow, and longing that people often feel when dealing with loss, pain, and the absence of a loved one.

when We Enter
Behind Omnivore Dance is Yinqi and Maggie, two Chinese-born choreographers and dancers currently based in Columbus, Ohio. Our duet works have been presented at various dance festivals in the US and China. By calling ourselves “omnivores”, we seek to devour all sorts of artistic influences because we are hungry for life, and in turn we produce all sorts of dances as means of metabolization to generate new growth. As essentially animals, we use our primal energies to construct wild realities on stage, willing to regain our animalistic instincts, to take bold risks, to laugh at our human selves. Thus our choreography often explores themes of myths, folklore, violence and intimacy, by incorporating pioneering bodily techniques of Gaga, Countertechnique, contact improv, as well as dramaturgy to fulfill the fantasies the dance work calls for.
