​GIFTS OF GRIEF
In this tender show, I walk the edge between heartbreak and healing. Through poetry and storytelling, I share the life and death of my beloved mentor and best friend, JDC, who passed from terminal cancer. His presence, his absence, and everything he taught me, live in this work.

FAT DHARMA
Fat Dharma is a one-woman play I wrote exploring what it means to move through the world as a fat woman in the Indian community. This play is an ode to body neutrality and the radical possibility of loving ourselves as we are. Through comedic storytelling, poetic prose, and the language of dance, I take the audience from the harsh corridors of puberty, body dysmorphia, and disordered eating to a quiet, powerful homecoming.

GOLD
GOLD is a four-act performance that traces a journey from sexual repression to expression to liberation. Through it, I confront the early sexualization of girls and the pervasive threat of gendered violence that shaped my adolescence. In the final acts, I step into embodied vitality and strength, joined by the dancers and musician, as we culminate the piece with a shared prayer for freedom from repression and violence.

​DECOLONIZE YOUR EYES
Decolonize Your Eyes is a 90-minute performance through the intimate landscapes of culture, displacement, transnational belonging and survival.
This show traces the deep roots of colonialism and the personal paths we take to unlearn it.
