Let me just get right into it.. As I enter this new moment in my life, I have been re-evaluating almost everything. With Dance.. I have left the competition world to some capacity and began expanding my skills through different avenues of this art form. My mind, body, and soul are in a shift at this very moment. I feel different on the inside and I am beginning to see it through my dance. Through my experience in competition, I developed this obsession of "upping" my last performance. I always wanted to be better or stronger in whatever I did. I noticed I began to judge my dance or myself through such a competitive lens that it got too deep and I was never satisfied. Today, I am learning new ways to think, create, process, and heal myself and how to translate that into my art.
I feel myself maturing in all corners of my life and for a minute there I was angry about it because I felt like my youth just slipping through my fingers. As this shift happens, I now love the change that is brewing in my soul. I know it is leading me to greatness and security. I am accepting of all that may flow my way. I am scared, don't get me wrong, but I know I have to just ride the wave.
I do not have a wild theme to match this choreography. The song speaks of love and two lovers growing closer. If I could interpret this in anyway that feels true to me, the two lovers meeting together are my past and new self. I am learning to love who I was as I discover who I am today. I constantly feel like I am at the funeral of my own life every single day. I wake up with a new thought or some kind of new realization and slowly everything else becomes archaic and no longer alive in me. As I mourn my old self, my old life, and my old adolescent joy, I enter a space of freedom and peace. I see the world with more compassion now. I finally see people as multi-layered individuals and can forgive easier or love another with much more generosity than I have ever before. I feel Awake.
This little project or presentation is the rawest and simplest form of the current growth I am experiencing. I wanted to capture this choreography and simply dance. I didn't want theatrics or big props. I just wanted to be me without the stress of trying to put on this big show. I was a little nervous to perform again but I am so happy I did. I hope you enjoy this dance. Always keep your mind open and your heart full, love y'all..
