Ilo
Choreographer
Ilo (they/he) is an emerging Afro-Caribbean choreographer, performer, teacher, and dance researcher. As a recent honors graduate of Emory University, they've notably developed research into the embodied liberatory practices of Afro-diasporic dance. Their research, performance, and choreography has been recognized by Misty Copeland at Emory University, the American College Dance Association, Emory’s Undergraduate Research Symposium, Dance Magazine, and DanceATL. They have worked extensively with like-inspired artists including Julio Medina, Kevin Iega Jeff, and Andre D. Lumpkin. Ilo remains inspired by artivism (art + activism), believing it is an essential tool for rewriting, reclaiming, and unearthing stories of the diaspora. Insta: @thee_hze.
