Extremely grateful to the people i got to create this with and for pace university and @paceuniversityipe for giving us the time to create and develop this piece
To the Swampsemble: Thank you thank you thank you! You helped us bring this vision to life while also making the swamp so much more fun to perform in.
Big huge thank you’s to @orange_harris for bringing our swamp to life through lights and @aidanpixley06 who not only staged managed but also kept me sane through tech and performances
I am beyond proud of the rest of my IPE class for the pieces they put on and am so lucky to have gotten to see some of their process and witness the work they created
To Eliza, Tristan, and Carter: Creating this with you guys was genuinely one of the best creative experiences I have had and I am so proud of what came of that. I am insanely proud of the world we built and how far we came from the beginning of this process. Thank you for always pushing me to be a better artist and giving me grace when i had trouble getting there. You have such brilliant artistic minds and i can not wait to see what you create in the future.
and lastly…
To Ossie: spending a year with this character has been such an incredibly rewarding experience. To dive into her mind has taught me things not only about myself, but also about the world around me. Creating this character from the ground up has genuinely been one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had. I will miss her brain and her quirks. thank you, Ossie, for letting me see all the kingdoms inside your head. I am so lucky I got to bring her to the stage💜
