Nexus (he/him/his)
Nexus was born and raised in the traditional territory of the Pamunkey and the Piscataway, part of which many of us now call Washington, DC. His is Black and Filipino-American. Nexus is a queer cisgender man, who is ethically non-monogamous. He was raised Catholic, and is currently spiritual but not religious.
Nexus received his Bachelor of Arts in dance from the University of Maryland, College Park and his Master of Arts in arts management from American University. He has been a Synetic Theater company member, Adventure Theatre’s production manager, and a Story District board member. His passion for storytelling turned into an ongoing program in the Burning Man community called the “Ten Principles Storytelling Project”, which has featured performances from Capital Fringe Festival to Black Rock City, and workshops from Regional Burns to Burning Man itself.
Nexus is currently a member of the Community Arts Team for Any Given Child DC, on the board of Dance Place , on the Grants Committee for the Arts and Humanities Council of Montgomery County, as well as a producing playwright with The Welders. Nexus also serves as one of five Regional Contacts for the DC Burning Man community.
And it is with over a decade and a half of working in the arts and advocacy, as well as serving in a variety of volunteer leadership positions, he brings his extensive experience regarding inclusion, diversity, equity, and access (IDEA) to his anti-racism work.
