🤍 POMPEII 🤍
A piece about vulnerability, hope and bravery when feeling stuck in the arena.
This was our first passage in prelims - we only had one run in us that day, where the heart could step forward, and this was the one.
What we loved most about the road leading to the Open was our loved ones, and how deeply they carried us through:
🤍
@maxlau_ @niniewcs @maximeandtorri - for co-creating with us, saving our “always last-minute” asses
🤍
@thibaultandnicole & the Ramirez/Clonch family - our home, our besties, and the shoulders we laughed and cried on before, during, and after
🤍
@swingingmatilda always the first eyes on our final piece,
@amandinelionel_dance our movement-research buddies,
@liftedbyarthur for his heartwarming presence
🤍
@daguerra_berlin @kjstyle.shop @clemencia__ramirez for dressing this piece, and us inside it
🤍
@carlottaromano_ for the music edit, the Canva we painted on
🤍 All the Classic Division competitors - for sharing the arena with us: the nerves, adrenaline, frustration, tears, sweat, relief, laughter, and joy. Grateful to be part of such a supportive group, especially in a competitive setting
🤍 All friends and mentors - for the hugs and wise words that helped us (Em 😅) get through that day, and the next
Much love, J’Em
