this pickle has a bfa in classical ballet with a minor in arts entrepreneurship!! 🩰🥒👩🏾🎓
so grateful to have found myself through these transformative 4 years. uncsa gave me an environment to grow and develop as an artist as well as a safe place to fall and make (many) mistakes. i am so proud of myself for not just surviving but evolving into my truest, most authentic, vibrant self.
i’ll always be thankful for the amazing performance experiences that @uncsadance provided me with. as well as the support and love from faculty.
s/o to @98jade for being my ride or die you are the best gift i’ll leave uncsa with 🥲🫶🏾
lavender daydream 🪻🌤️💞
my emerging has been such a special experience, i learned so much about what i’m capable of. thanks @alliecataldi@gigi.mataya and @avajlindenmayer for being so amazing to collaborate with, i am so so thankful i had yall 🙏🏾 i’m so happy i got to choreograph my first piece to music by Joesph Bologne whose works i have been in love with since my Bridgerton obsession. i love how i could throw a lot of my other mediums and interests into lavender daydream. i spent a lotttt of time collaging on pinterest, but not as much as i spent sewing 😵 i consider myself an amateur seamstress (i was lowkey struggling) but i’m kinda obsessed with how these came out 🙂↔️
sum clips at the end 💕
