Based in Santa Cruz, California since 1992, Cynthia engages in communication through dance, dance making, and being with people and nature near and far. She began dance studies at San Francisco State University with Wilford Mark; Caribbean folkloric dance and Blanch Browne; Haitian and African. A long deep dive into improvisational movement practice led to ongoing collaborations with painters, poets, and musicians, in a multitude of environments, not limited to forests, streams, post offices, subway cars, and boulder tops.
