Rae D. Collins (she/they) is an active eco-feminist and artist of various mediums. She a 2022 graduate from TWU with an MA in Dance Education and a received a BA in Communications with a focus in Public Relations (as well as a Minor in Dance) from TXST in 2007. Alongside her daughter Tinsley, she made it to “the homeland” of Oregon after 20+ years in Texas. It has been quite the adventure for Rae since her daughter was born in San Marcos, TX, in 2007, teaching and crafting designs of all kinds across the Lone Star State. It’s Rae’s truth that language does not have to be spoken to have power and art is both inter- and transdisciplinary. Rae is an art activist, but before becoming one, she was first a daughter of dance. Rae’s work sits mainly in regenerative and reciprocal forms. She continues to make with/for her daughter, Tinsley’s generation, and the generations yet to come, but she simultaneously values, believes deeply, and practices in creating multigenerational dance and art. We/They, after all, are all one, and it is a Relation. Ship.
