DANCER.

CHOREOGRAPHER.

Hi, I’m Rian (He/Him)

I IDENTIFY AS:

A Los Angeles Native.

A Filipino-American.

A Gay Artist/Dancemaker.

I DANCE TO:

Build community.

Foster spaces of healing.

Navigate through the world.

I MAKE WORK THAT:

Interrogates how dominant masculinity shapes queer visibility in contemporary society.

Foregrounds the complexities of sociocultural and ethnoracial values within the AAPI experience.

Serves as a vessel to give my, and others, personal histories a corporeal existence.
