This dance has been important in getting me out of the slump I experienced this past semester. I think I became so vulnerable in what I consider to be a sort of creative depression (inconveniently timed!) that I finally gave up covering up, and accessed it to make what I think is one of my most successful creations. It's still got potential to be developed further, and I'm excited to go there.
Today I realized how silly it was for me to not draw on the situation I was in these past few months. Rather than try to dance through it, I might have tried dancing about it, in it. Now experiencing the success at the end of that tunnel, I can look in and remember clearly. Both ends of that are potential I hope to work with over break in preparation for a fresh start next semester. I intend to access the vulnerability and open honesty that this solo helped me use so successfully to also pursue my original project. The change of blog colors signify the new attitude I'm going to take.
