Get Wild."},"content":{"rendered":"

Recently an acquaintance who follows my work approached me after a dance class (I was smiling pretty big) and said, \u201cSo are you just happy ALL the time?\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Internet is weird. You get glimpses of slices of curated moments of lives and then your brain fills in the monumental gaps with more of the same. And since I usually get real excited when sharing the things I make with you guys, you might imagine my face is a composite of the giddy expressions flitting across my instagram<\/a> feed.<\/p>\n

But happy all the time? That\u2019d be boring as shit.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And those things I make? They wouldn\u2019t get made if I wasn\u2019t consistently propelled forward by a blessed unrest + extreme nostalgia for the indivisible consciousness we came from.<\/p>\n

AND I wouldn\u2019t be certain that people would drink up the medicine of music + movement like water in the desert if it hadn\u2019t saved my own ass ten thousand times.<\/p>\n

I create the best art when I\u2019ve got some grit in my palette, and the key is this:
\nthe discipline to take the raw material of our lives and turn it into something beautiful.<\/p>\n

My goal is not happiness.<\/strong>
\nMy goal is freedom:<\/strong>
\nthe ability to be an honest response to what\u2019s real inside + out,
\nand then make magic out of it.<\/p>\n

To live my art
\nTo be my wild
\nTo dance my truest dance.<\/p>\n

Now you dance yours.<\/p>\n
