"I heard once that there are two ways of looking at the world: as if nothing is a miracle, or as if everything is."
Let me tell you: everything is.
I had the distinct privilege to perform Fat Juliet on my mom's birthday, with 60 of my beloved community members. I'm proud of the story we told together, and grateful for the space that we were given, and the way the audience carried me.
To my collegues:
@laurenemilymorris is a dream of a director. She searches out the soul of a piece and advocates for it passionately, while empowering her colleagues to do the same. And then has the technical prowess and knowledge of craft to make a story come alive. Wild. She makes every room sparkly. To every challenge, she showed up with artistry and humanity.
@x.alejandra.xx is a combo of wit and wisdom that I have never encountered. She has a sharp directorial eye, and an inate understanding of the heartbeat of a story. Her voice was critical in shaping this thing, and I am ever grateful to her.
@the_wizard_sync asked the right questions from the beginning. He is the picture of kind intellect, and was perfect advocate for the story and for my heart. I appreciate the hell out of him, and cannot wait to marry him.
@lotta_little provided stability and movement genius in just a few rehearsals. I'm always grateful to work with them, but even more-so when I can learn from the way they move their body through space.
@essentialtheatrega (especially Jen and Peter), thank you for your fierce advocacy for Georgia artists. Thank you for the space and resources that you gave to make this happen. Our city is better because you are here.
Thank you for your work.
