Maurice loves banter and believes that there is continuous streamlines of conversation through layers of partnership in dance, and that it is what the culture currently needs. This is Maurice’s first Nevermore! Ask them for a deep cut song, and they’ll throw you one.

Hi, I am Richelle Webster-Perry (she/her) and I’ll be coordinating local housing for dancers attending N/evermore 2025. I love St. Louis’ sense of local pride and its DIY, community-driven ethos and am looking forward to welcoming visiting dancers to our city. I’ve been dancing for most of my life and fell in love with the movement, music, and community of lindy hop in early 2023. Last year, I coordinated local housing for Dance MO Bal, and I’m excited to use my enthusiasm for spreadsheets and travel logistics to support N/evermore this year.

Sophia (she/her/hers) is Perennial’s Director of Creative ReUse.

Sophia owes her love of creative reuse to her grandmother, who could find a second life for anything. Outside of Perennial, you can find Sophia making things, dreaming (both asleep and awake), hanging with her puppy Ekko, and running her eco-friendly paper goods and accessories business, Just Human Studio.
