a quote I will cherish forever about my piece.


"It is very creative, imaginative at the same time a powerful statement. The dark enhanced the whole concept and the use of flashlights was inspired. The dark evoked the ignorance which still dominates, the closeted soldiers who had to stay in the dark, and the terror of war which comes from the darkest depths of humanity. Very well done. We used to say 'Don't let the message dominate the art' and I think you succeeded in getting the art across. Well done." -said by a very well respected artist.

Read about Me

My mom has told me she used to ask “little me” what I wanted to be when I grow up. When I was around 3, the answer was, “to be an ice skater”(that was during the time of Kristi Yamaguchi). She said when she checked in again, a few months later, I said “a princess”. When my mom told me you can’t be a princess when you grow up, because it’s not a job, I apparently replied, “Well, if I can’t be a princess a ballerina will do. They are just as beautiful.” It was then that she decided to enroll me into Contra Costa Ballet Center, and my dancing career began. You know, I didn’t like ballet very much at first. We constantly had to listen to this boring music with no one singing, keep straight faces, suck in our belly’s, and were not allowed to socialize. All of those things were hard for me, and well for many other little girls, because we were all LITTLE. We wanted to have fun and skip and laugh. Sometimes, if we were good, we were allowed to skip, but mostly ballet and fun did

dancing = struggling

There aren’t many things that intimidate me, and if there are, I am pretty good at faking it until I’m making it. Contact improv is one of those marvelous things that intimidates, and flat out scares me. Being required to get involved in an actual jam didn’t seem scary until the day I showed up. It’s hard for me to let go of that sense of “being right” when it comes to dance. I come from a place where you must “do everything correctly” or you are a “horrible person”. So needless to say the fear of failing in public scarred me to death and made me so nervous I couldn’t stop shaking. However, having made it through three successful improve jams, I am here to say that there is nothing better than contact improvisational dancing. The initial movement scared me. Many people jumped right into it after warming up, and I had to stretch a little longer than I normally do so I could prepare for what might lay ahead. As I slowly made my way toward the crowd of people I started to over a
