“It feels like I could just keep turning and turning and turning and if I keep turning, toes to grass to hands to grass to toes… maybe when I get right side back up again, everything would be alright.” 🤸🏽‍♀️ this is one of my favorite lines from my latest play “the alebrije play.” when are you happiest?

I watched a musical-in-development online the other week and I signed up for the newsletter updates and I wrote in my form that it can be lonely being a theatre artist whenever you’re outside the theatre space. I know this isn’t just for theatre artists, but all kinds of artists: you have to be your own PR person to sell your work, to get eyes on your art. if you don’t sell tickets, does anyone even care? do we just give it up to the Industry? … my answer is: first and foremost, I write for myself. and I care about me and I believe in my art. when I’m in rehearsal, i feel so alive and challenged and humbled and not-so-lonely.

anyway. if you’ve ever felt happiness, grief, loneliness… here’s a sunflower 🌻 and if you made it this far, thanks for reading and I invite you to watch Alebrije on saturday night. (link in bio). (yes this is me being my own PR and being authentic).
