Some songs just always circle back and will forever be timeless. And Master Blaster is that song for me. 🥹

I don’t think I’ll ever have the right words to fully describe what this performance felt like. I literally created this piece in THREE DAYS. Three days. And my cast had three days to learn it while also being in other people’s pieces, rehearsals, and everything else happening around them. And somehow… it was still so magical. So beautiful. So full of life.

This piece also allowed me to reconnect with people I genuinely never thought I’d cross paths with creatively again. And for that alone, I’m extremely grateful.

I’m grateful that God continues to make room for my gift. He continues to allow me and the people around me to find space, reconnect, meet new people, and remember that we all share this same gift. Dance has a way of bringing us back into our bodies, back to each other, and back to the joy of simply MOVING.

I feel like this piece is such a beautiful close to a year of being overly creative, trusting myself again, and remembering just how capable I am as a choreographer. I’m proud to create work that brings ME joy, but also brings joy to the people dancing it and the people watching it.

And I truly could not have done this without my cast. You guys were simply AMAZING. Even with every little hardship, schedule conflict, and everything that came up, y’all did your BIG ONE. 😂❤️ Thank you for trusting me, showing up, and giving this piece everything you had.

And thank you to @grindhousedance901 , @subroymovement_dot_org , and @terrannoir for continuing to create spaces where my creative gifts can be showcased in my city. Thank you for giving me opportunities to pour back into the dancers around me and create art that we can all carry with us.

Master Blaster just brings me so much joy.

And I’m just… grateful. 🤎
