hello everyone,
i'm sitting here at my computer a bit at a loss for words.
i truly am blown away at the direction this little website has taken.
this project was really born from a place of loss and deep sadness, and i can't believe how much it has flourished since then.
honestly, at the beginning of all of this, i wasn't even sure if i had a passion for this project anymore. my live performance was taken away and it seemed that everything that i was working towards was all for nothing. i can't believe how wrong i was about that.
this site has been so cathartic for me over the past few weeks. it has been a site of connection, reunion, creation, and laughter. i cannot thank everyone enough who has even sat down for a moment to browse the beautiful things written here.
and pity party...i have no words. what started as a simple gathering for my cast to still see each other's faces every week has completely propelled me on a journey of curiosity and discovery. being able to sit down with artists and people who i admire and love with every bone in my body has been such a treat. after each interview i feel so hopeful for the world after this pandemic. i can't believe how lucky i am to have met and surrounded myself with such an amazing tribe over the years. its all so overwhelming and surreal.
so, while i'm still mourning the loss of what my thesis was, i think this website has filled that hole. rather, i think it opened a completely new part of my creative being that i never even knew was there. it turns out i love talking to people, i love hearing their stories, i love sharing my stories. maybe that's why i'm a dancer and why this, even in the virtual space, is still dancing.
im so grateful to keep dancing alongside all of you, even now.
keep creating, keep conversing, keep breaking the rules.
xoxo
caro
