In this episode of Stage Dive, Jack speaks with Victor Adeniran, a dancer, aerialist, and all around artist. They dive into the subjectivity of art, spirituality, finding what you need, and Victor's poems on love.
ABOUT VICTOR ADENIRAN
Victor Adeniran was born in Denver, Colorado but moved to Nigeria with his parents soon after, where he would spend the next 17 years. While living for almost two decades in Nigeria, he fell in love with various forms of art — but the intersections of dance, emoting through movement, painting, sketching, and drawing held his attention the most. After moving back to the U.S., he served in the United States Marine Corps for over 13 years, where he visited a laundry list of countries that ultimately inspired, informed, and enhanced his creativity. Upon returning to Denver after his time in the military, Adeniran performed and continued to enhance his skills and knowledge with MOTH Poetic Circus, now MOTH live entertainment, where his aerial skills began, developed, and grew.
Victor moved to San Diego, California, where he has toured with Werk the World (RuPaul’s drag race touring show) through Europe and North America. Violet Chachkis a little more me, Night of the Living Drag, etc. He is thrilled to bring you his performance, joy, and love for the arts through Alice in Wonderland by MOTH live entertainment.

ABOUT JACK DAWKINS
Jack Dawkins is a storyteller, a rapper, and a poet. He also cooks good food and runs really far. His use of the English language has been compared to Michael Phelps’ performance on Saturday Night Live: Wildly entertaining for none of the reasons you would expect. He is, at his core, and in his music, deeply human, and a lover of excessive comma use. Most importantly, he loves you.
