Knowing how essential the performing arts were to his own
personal development and education, Kevin has dedicated
his career to working primarily with youth ensembles in the
fields of dance, theatre, and interdisciplinary performing arts.
His main interest in both his scholarly and creative work is
creating/ devising progressive, inclusive, intercultural, and
interdisciplinary ensemble performance projects that explore
personal and social identity within a wide range of socially relevant
topics, allowing many voices and perspectives to be heard.
Kevin holds a BFA degree in Theatre Arts; an MFA degree in Dance;
and a PhD in Cultural Studies, with an emphasis on community
arts, arts education, and culture & performance. As a twentyyear
resident of Los Angeles, Kevin has worked extensively as
a high school and university level dance, theater, movement,
and arts education instructor and director-choreographer. To
address issues of access, Kevin has formed his own non-profit
organization to assist low-income youth to participate in the
arts. He will soon take on the position of Associate Director of
the Visual and Performing Arts Education program at UCLA. He
also has an impressive and varied resume as a performer and is
currently invested in creating his own solo, autobiographical multidisciplinary
performance projects.
