Choreographed by Crystal Michelle Perkins

​

 

My first rehearsal process in college was one that not only challenged me in several ways, but also intensified my growing love for this beautiful art form. I don't think I was completely physically or mentally prepared for this entire experience, but I truly believe working with Crystal Perkins and the rest of the amazing cast for a semester brought out a part of me that is now ready for other challenges. In a matter of 15 weeks, a beautiful piece based on an African folklore was created with African-Contemporary based movement that tested my physical limits with its high-intensity needs. I originally felt out of my comfort zone with this style when rehearsals began. With the faculty concert over, I realize that I can use this as an expansion of knowledge and artistry, and I am so grateful to have gone through this journey with all the people involved and to be able to have learned from all of them.
