Steven, a resident of Phoenix, Arizona, has built a distinguished professional artistic career through collaborations with many local organizations. His journey in the world of dance began in high school, igniting a passion that led him to pursue education at Arizona State University for a couple of years. Steven’s professional career took off when he started showcasing his solo work at Experimental Art Nights with [nueBox]. His initial pieces, titled “One,” “Two,” and “Three,” were innovative explorations of audience engagement and improvisational skills. By 2019, Steven presented his seventh work, “Seven,” at the Blaktinx showcase, held at Phoenix Center for the Arts. In 2020, his choreographic work “Eight,” was featured on the Breaking Ground main stage, making his first piece designed for two dancers. The pandemic brought a temporary lull in Steven’s creative energy, but he soon found inspiration through collaboration. This period also marked the beginning of a new chapter in Steven’s artistic journey as he began curating “In The Round,” an intimate dance showcase presented at various venues across the valley. As “In the Round" establishes itself as a staple performance in Phoenix, Steven envisions expanding the showcase to different cities and even globally. His goal is to provide an accessible space where audiences and performers can share moments of art and community. Outside of curating events, Steven continues to share his work with anyone who is eager to be a part of the experience.
