Elke voorstelling is een nieuwe voorstelling.

Een ander gebouw.

Een ander tijdstip.

Een andere dag.

Elke is nieuw en daarmee ben jij iedere dag nieuw.

Improvisatie is geen kwestie van herhaling, maar van hercreatie.

Ontdek je studentenstad.

Ga naar voorstellingen, praat met andere dansers en makers.

Open de deur naar de wereld.

Wat trekt jou zo aan om aan je favoriete kunstacademie te studeren?

Wat zijn je verwachtingen, wat zijn je wensen?

Houd die in acht, zodat je je eigenheid behoudt.

Een uitvoerend danser.

Een co-creërende danser.

Een dansmaker.

Hokjes vervagen, zodat je begint vanuit één en ontdekt dat je meer kunt zijn.

Meer mág zijn.

Je kunst bekijken en daarop reflecteren, dat is een goed, ervaar het ook zo.

De docenten en ik weten niet wat er zal gebeuren in de toekomst. Ja, het verleden is zeker, maar op basis van mijn eigen ervaringen zal ik uiteindelijk weten hoe het gaat zijn.

I think the same thing goes for creative endeavors you have stopped doing. It is worth it to try and find out how you can do that in the current situation, in the present.

Not everything has to be done like it used to be.

Evolve.

Elevate.

Appreciate.

 If you ever find yourself wondering why you even bother with writing or drawing or any of your other creative endeavors, stop for a second.

 Think back to all of the fun you’ve had with it in the past. Think back on all of the things it helped you get through. Reread, listen to, or look back on your old works if you’ve kept any and look at how far you’ve come since you started. Imagine how mind-blown younger you would have been if they ever saw how much better they would have gotten when they were older.

 And if the current project isn’t jamming with you, try something different, something to try and rekindle that joy and passion. I promise you, just because the current thing isn’t working how you want it to doesn’t mean you are bad at your craft. It’s a rough patch, not the end of the road.

you don’t get good at doing something by not doing it

you get good at doing something by doing it badly and learning how to do it better

I love how I keep seeing the beauty in people, even if there are so many reasons not to.

I love how I can laugh the most at my own jokes, even when others don't get it.

I love how I love myself a little more every day. What I look like, who I am.

I love you, I love you, I love you.

All my life I have been trying to fit in; to feel, to be normal, but every time I ended up feeling more alien than ever before. I started comparing myself, feeling worthless, like everyone has made so much progress but me; like everyone has had so much success but me. I tried so hard to take up space when I was alone, but always ended up feeling small when there were people around. I wish I could say that since then I have grown, that I have healed and this has never happened again. But the truth is I am not alive because I have overcome this mess of emotions, I am alive despite feeling it all the time. And even though I haven’t healed completely, I am proud of and I take pride in the fact that I have survived, for it shows that even the in the darkest of nights when it was me against my mind - I won. And here I am, I might be bruised, I might be hurting, but I am still alive.
