This is my first attempt at creating personal and“vulnerable” art after many years of desiring to.
I wanted to wrap up the notable experiences and complex emotions I felt throughout my 20s. Starting therapy has been a grueling yet rewarding journey, but I craved a specific release I believed could only happen through movement. “No Excuses” was the perfect vehicle. After watching
@childishgambino perform it live (shoutout
@janeosun and
@mitzybalto ), I felt too much all at once, and I knew I had to create to it. Experiences of love, loss, letting go, and doing life at my own pace were the underlying themes that drove the movement and choices in this one. Almost quit on creating to this song, and just doing something vibey like act one but… no excuses LOLL. I hope some of it resonates with you through video if you missed it live!
To my cast!!! 🙆🏼♂️😤 It felt both healing and comforting to be surrounded by this cast of talented movers, who were soooo supportive and committed (and fun to work with) through the late nights of this 8-hour process 😮💨 I’m a huge fan of all of your movement but beyond that I’m grateful for how yall showed up ready to work. From people I barely know anything about, to some of my closer friends… I’m really proud of how we connected during this performance and of what y’all drew from to make it personal to you.
Til Act Three… 🤑
