Shadow Boxes
While watching all of the performances on Thursday i really started to let myself go, and become part of the show myself. I allowed my mind to wondering and dance over all types of personal relationships, experiences, and struggles that so easily make up my life and well me. For a girl like me allowing myself to not be so structured always seemed like it would be something hard to do, yet while preforming these shows, especially our after hours of scenery work and throwing together the final show felt exhilarating. Just being able to be a kid again and play with things that didn't necessarily have to be the most expense or most popular toys but the ones made with your own hands, those are the toys that i know i used and refused to let go of once my imagination was in full gear. I told my roommates the other day of how good it felt to get to play again, they all looked at me with the raised eyebrow like i was crazy, they don't understand how when we are thrust into the structured lives that we all have lived since early on that we loose the ability to just relax let go and allow everything to just flow. I enjoy using that word now that i can honestly say what it means when people play off each other and just let the art come from within.
