VESTIBULE (1/3)
After a week of basking in immense gratitude and joy, I just want to thank everyone who came, collaborated, and supported me throughout the process of creating and producing VESTIBULE. It has been a dream come true, years in the making, and I know this is just the beginning of a career of making evening length work.
I am in awe of the response from the work and hope people continue to share what the piece unlocked in them. I just want to take the time and space to thank everyone who helped me achieve this huge dream.
Thank you to my cast
@sakuraamano @erin.s.co @mikayla_knestrick @ellingtonpersley my muses, the greatest artists for your curiosity and strength. All of the versions were worth it and I miss our rehearsals already
Thank you to my love
@timmy_hr for not only the gorgeous paintings, but the inspiration and emotional support throughout the process.
Thank you to
@gracemakesmusic for the beautiful musical composition and such rich collaboration!
Thank you to
@alina._.michiko for the costumes of my dreams. Also the greatest dress EVER! You are a star!
Thank you to my incredible committee. I will cherish the mentorship and conversations forever. I finally understand what choreography is/can do, which I guess is the point of this MFA… yay
@aboylikethat @willjrawls @victoriaellenmarks and Susan Foster
Lastly, thank you to my students for investigating ROOTING, FLOWING, and BEAMING with me. It is thanks to your willingness in class that I was able to solidify this pedagogy.
Stay radiant everyone🌞 onto the next chapter, but ROOTING, FLOWING, and BEAMING are forever.
More posts to come of performance photos and videos, as well as process materials
