First Post


 hi blog :p

This is my test post! I'm not fully sure what I'm blogging about right now, to be totally honest. My eyes are fuzzy and I have partnering today in studio A. I love partnering (normally). My knees hurt and I'm, like, so incredibly sore but I am really enjoying the rigorous schedule at School of the Arts.

look i can embed a video too!

My research  began as a more scientific, anatomical study of dancing (one to reflect the studies I'm currently working on in my ballet training) but as I developed my sound more, I realized that the science part could truly just be the sound itself–allowing me to give into the artistic aspect of this project more.

The mood I wanted my media to reflect was one of nostalgia and a story of dance. There's a hint of clouded exhaustion, I think, and there's also a warm, 'home' sort of feeling that ...

A Reflection on the Effect of Exhaustion on Creating Something Worth ________

   A lot stood in the way of me and the completion of the production of this piece. Per usual, I experienced a lot of back-and-forth and struggle to make decisions throughout the process of my multimedia project. Things on the preference-based side (deciding which artistic choices I wanted to make) to the technological side of things (losing my computer in the Kansas City Airport) impacted my process in ways I didn’t expect them to, and somehow still had an effect on what I wanted to say with my work. From an artistic standpoint, I initially liked my sound project so much I was improvising to it in the studio a few times, really excited at the potential of choreographing something to a sound bit that *I* designed. After a lot of rumination I ended up going with a different piece ("The Creator", by Piano Marine Mike.) My other piece, although containing a lot of aspects unique to me, just wasn't sparking the kind of inspiration I needed at the time. Especially as I was get...
