š«another solar returnš«
thank you to @williamfrederkingphotography for these wonderful photos! Bill made me feel like a Dancer (with the capitals lol) and iāve started to think of myself as more of an artist.
iām usually so bummed about getting older but @safirebellydancerschicago told me last year to revel in my youth, and iāve really taken it to heart this year. onward to more growth, more learning, and much love to my myself and my communities ā„ļø
also, so so much love for @handyvice@mariechewgee@pbglawyer26 for being my soft place to land - i like to think iām getting better at handling things, but iām so thankful for your presence in my life. iām so thankful for friends and family, thank you for being a part of my life!
hereās to more creation next year!

The sacredness of improv is in the return.
Themes are created in the process and then show up again and again.
š„ excerpt from Echoes of the Experiment
The LAB CollectiveāØSensation, resistance, and the edges of form.āØCollective tension and release.āØWhatās next vs whatās available to me.
The kind of work that reveals itself only through doing.āØWe conjure, as if guided by something just out of reach.āØA space to discover whatās to come.
