Theater Show - October 2024
This year’s annual in-studio theater show took place at the Solana Beach studio on October 18, 2024, and for the first time, I created a piece with Peter and a piece with Damion. We definitely had less time to create than we usually do, but, as it is every year, the process was incredibly fulfilling, and we had a chance to try new things without having to worry about strategy, judges’ marks, or critiques. We could just explore, experiment, create, and grow. If we had more time, of course the performances could have been more polished and more technically precise, but there is also something to be said for allowing something to be more raw and just living in the moment and being okay with whatever version of the performance may exist in that given moment. Each performance is just a snapshot of the process, not the full story, and sometimes you just need to allow yourself to embrace that.
As usual, there was a theme/storyline for each of the pieces, but we intentionally left it up to interpretation so that each audience member could take from each piece whatever resonated with them based on their perspectives, experiences, and state of being in that moment.
