About the Artist

Rayven was born and raised in Winston-Salem, NC where she studied dance at the University North Carolina School of the Arts. Later, she went on to receive her BFA in Theater Arts with a concentration in dance from Howard University. Throughout her matriculation at Howard, Rayven was able to study at various dance institutions such as American Dance Festival, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, and Dallas Black Dance Theater. After undergrad she was fortunate enough to secure a position during a global shut down as a company member of B.Moore Dance in Dallas, Texas. For almost a year she learned work through zoom until she was able to finally move to Dallas and join the company in person. In hopes of deepening her understanding around the things she cares about, Rayven started graduate school at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA summer 2023. During her time at UArts she has been able to study at Institut Chorgraphique InternationalCCN in Montpellier. This experience at UArts has invariably reignited her love for art, people, and community in a special way. These days Rayven is interested in practices of liberation and freedom across lands and generations. Her practices as a dancer, choreographer, dj and writer have all been enlivened across the landscape of collective desire.
