Keomi Tarver is a San Diego native, multidisciplinary performing artist, director, choreographer, educator, and Artistic Holistic Healer whose work lives at the intersection of movement, storytelling, healing, and community. Her artistic practice is rooted in dance and expands across theatre, performance, education, spiritual practice, and multidisciplinary storytelling. After more than a decade of living and creating in New York City, Keomi is bringing her artistic practice to San Diego, shaped by years of performance, education, collaboration, and a deep belief in the transformative power of movement and artistic expression. Her journey has taken her from stages and classrooms to museums, community spaces, retreats, and cultural institutions, allowing her to use movement and storytelling as tools for connection, expression, and transformation.
Keomi creates transformative artistic experiences that invite people to move, feel, question, heal, create, and connect. Her practice spans dance, theatre, multidisciplinary performance, choreography, education, workshops, retreats, and community-centered experiences. Whether she is creating for the stage, teaching in a classroom, facilitating a movement experience, or developing a new body of work, her approach centers vulnerability, storytelling, artistic expression, healing, choice, joy, and the fullness of the human experience. She is the Founder and Creative Director of Abundance with Keomi, Creator and Director of Black Girl Bloom, and Artistic Director of Keomi + Abundant Praise—creative homes that explore identity, spirituality, self-expression, community, storytelling, and the power of people to express and honor the fullness of who they are.

As an educator and teaching artist, Keomi brings her professional practice into classrooms and creative spaces, supporting emerging artists in developing not only movement vocabulary and technique, but voice, confidence, curiosity, and a deeper relationship with their own creative practice. At the heart of Keomi’s work is the relationship between healing and artistic expression—the belief that what we create, embody, share, and release can become part of how we heal. Through movement, storytelling, performance, education, and community, Keomi creates spaces for expression, connection, transformation, joy, and possibility. Her work is an ongoing exploration of what it means to heal, create, live, and love abundantly.. Instagram: IG: abundancewithkeomi
To watch me DANCE is to hear my heart speak.
Can’t Live Without
Beach
What can I say, I’m a San Diego native and the beach runs in my blood.
Movement
I have loved to move ever since I was a baby. It is when I am at my freest.
Reading in Bed
My favorite way to wind down the day is with a page turner in my hand.
Friends
When it comes down to it, community and loved ones it what life’s all about.
