Reflections from Cali!

My time in San Francisco, California was such an awakening experience. Aside from the fact that the dance artists there were extremely welcoming and friendly, the culture around us was very warm and laid back which was definitely something I need at that time. The entire atmosphere really allowed me to carve out some self time and reevaluate my approach to my individual process before a performance. I realized that in order to prepare my self mentally for a performance I don't necessarily have to block out everything around me in order to stay focused but instead I can embrace my surroundings as a way to fully enter the space, exist in the space and then fully exit the space. By the way, the PUSH Festival was amazing and I really had a great time!
