Artistry & Storytelling
1. I strive to approach every role with an open mind, a sense of patience, and a flexible understanding of human nature. This allows me to remain genuine and authentic in the pursuit of storytelling while simultaneously amplifying the ingenuity and empathy that fuels the character.
2. The stories that I am most passionate about telling range from historical retellings of significant figures and events to fantastical narratives about magic and royalty. To me, my passion is sparked when the storytelling I’m telling is one of honesty and hope.
3. In order to balance my skills in both acting and singing for any role, I dedicate an equivalent amount of time to each individual skill, ensuring to rehearse the corresponding material. I always find it necessary to coordinate both skills as well, making sure that the singing is connected to the storytelling, and the storytelling is informed by the songs as well.
Future & Vision
1. One of my greatest aspirations is to be able to maintain my versatility as a performer in the professional world and continue to sing, dance, and act, along with composing, writing, and choreographing. The art of creation and the creation of art are both intertwined, and I want to remain as immersed in both as possible while expanding my horizons. I hope to debut more original material of my own, perform original material of others, and revive impactful works that resonate with modern day audiences.
2. Some of my most prominent dream roles include playing various princesses, (Anna in Frozen, Belle in Beauty and the Beast, Anya in Anastasia), while others are starlets or leading ladies like Millie Dilmount in Thoroughly Modern Millie and Katherine Plumber in Newsies, and later in life, Mother in Ragtime.
3. I would advise young performers to surround themselves with supportive, and loving people, both fellow artists and non-artists, to always maintain the most comfortable and safe environment to develop art, refine your skills, try and fail, and fulfill every artistic dream you have.ReplyReply AllForwardEdit as new
