Scar/ed
Choreography: Malikah Fernandez & Alex Patrick
INFO
"Scars only show us what we can bear, not dictate where we are going"
Scar/ed inspired by a Black man's medical journey, recovering from a brain aneurysm. It was created to bring awareness to one's own health, focusing on men of color.

"It takes time, it takes love and it takes forgiveness"
Created as a cathartic release for my mother, Healing explores a personal experience that voices concern of the quality of care received in our communities. I want this piece to advocate for those who feel overlooked in the medical system.
