Veritas 2026 - Dare You to Move

I almost didn't audition. I thought I had made up my mind that I wouldn't perform this winter, but as I was sitting alone at home on that first audition date, all I could think was "I could've been there." So when Oli came back with a smile on their face, like they always do after coming back from Veritas, I said I wanted to join them next week, and thank god I did. By the end of that first audition day, I knew this was it. This is where I was supposed to be. 

This was genuinely the best experience of my entire life. It's not often that you can say that and truly mean it, but what can I say. Veritas is special. 

This show was exactly the message I needed to hear. The beginning of 2025 was probably the worst time of my life. It felt like everything was falling apart, one thing after another. That, on top of becoming a senior and getting ready to graduate soon, I felt stuck. I was stuck in all of the things I've lost and not ready for what was next. Then Oli asked me to audition. And I eventually said I'll try. And now we are part of history. 

I've learned and have grown so much this past season. I've learned it's about the people, not just the activity. I've learned I am capable of so much more than I give myself credit for. I've learned that what I thought were my weaknesses, my stubborness, my big emotions, my vulnerability, are really my strengths. My resilience, my love, my vulnerability. My dearest vis line, you taught me that. I love you all so so much, and my life is forever changed because of your love, your laughter, your light. When I think of the feeling of home, it's with you. 

Thank you to all of the staff for your guidance and your trust. Thank you to all the photographers whose hard work means the absolute world to me. Thank you to every single member of this ensemble. You are what makes Veritas home. And thank you Oli, for daring me to move. 

Even the most beautiful chapters have to end for the story to go on. And wow, was it a beautiful one.
