WE DID IT! ✨
There we are — “Issui, The River Soul” was performed and presented to more than 500 people.
What a beautiful journey: 6 weeks of rehearsals, 4 months of research, and 1 full year of carrying this idea in my heart.
We used to call it “Manga Ballet” between us — but it is a piece about choice and reincarnation, about learning how to keep moving forward after difficult events.
I want to keep bringing hope and light to the stage, so this is only the beginning of Issui’s journey.
Thank you to the fantastic dancers
@wangrunpeng2 @alicia.nager @tayannnee for believing in my crazy ideas until the very end. Without you, this would never have been possible. I felt free to be myself without judgment, and getting to know each of you more through every rehearsal was so special.
Thank you

Thank you
