these images are from my first art show, held in my childhood dance studio in 2007.
A fourth-year student at the Boston Conservatory, Ekko studies Contemporary Dance (BFA) with an emphasis in Composition.
Growing up in South Florida, she attended A.W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts and studied primarily under Eileen Hebron. She has performed work by Norbert De La Cruz III, Aszure Barton, Jennifer Archibald, Murray Lewis, Paul Taylor, George Balanchine, and Bob Fosse amongst many more internationally recognized choreographers. Ekko has extensive experience in ballet techniques, pointe, contemporary, Graham, Limón, Horton, jazz, and improvisation. Ekko has received additional training from institutions including Henny Jurriëns Studio Amsterdam, The Philadelphia Ballet, the Limón Dance Company, and SpringBoard Danse Montreal’s SpringboardX. As a choreographer, Ekko was awarded the New Century Dance Project Grand Prize in 2022 under the direction of Jim Vincent, Penny Saunders, Yusha-Marie Sorzano, and Francisco Gella. Over 2023 and 2024, Ekko premiered three original choreographic works that were presented at Boston Conservatory’s mainstage theater. Inspired by the inherent thread between all forms of expression, she is currently exploring notions of home, memory, and nostalgia within her work. Most recently, Ekko danced in a new creation by choreographer James Finnemore (Hofesch Shechter/ Punchdrunk) and composer Joel Harries as a part of the b12 summer festival in Berlin, Germany.
