This is a bit late in the game, but I wanted some time to sit and reflect a bit before giving my thanks. So here it goes.
.
I want to give huge shoutout and thank you to everyone who took the time to come witness my new work, "Off the Beaten Path...A Solitary Act," at the CandyBox Dance Festival in April. And of course, thank you to all the friends and families who contacted me personally that they were unable to attend.
.
This work and opportunity truly meant a lot to me as it is a mile stone towards my growth and artistry as a dance choreographer and dance maker in this community. From each item, to each movement choice, and to each idea, were all memories that are held close in my heart. This piece signifies all of my gains and losses as a dancer that I have had throughout my years all into one. It's interesting that even though this piece focuses on the tensions of solitude, how one's journey can be lonely or alone and what it means to later cope with that. Post show, I am reminded that this piece focuses on something that once was very real in my life, but even now, I realized that I am still facing this challenge in my everyday reality. So whether you are alone in this journey or will feel this sense of loneliness, never forget to love yourself! You gotta push through, because the world needs to fucken see your art!
.
So again, I cannot thank enough to the ones who made the effort to come witness this moment with me. I would like to extend my appreciation to a few specific folks. Thank you to @mathew_janczewski from @arenadances for having me as this year's featured artist. Thank you to my amazing wife, Kayla, in supporting me through this long extensive journey and process. Thank you to my good friend and mentor, @carltheflinker, for guiding me through this choreographic process. And thank you to my friends @jackgvstudios and Bill for capturing all these beautiful moments to look back on.
.
With more projects to come I am happy to pause this work and move onto another one. See you at Mixtape 7-Return To Battle on June 21st & 22nd at the Luminary Arts in Minneapolis.
