At my core, I am a storyteller. I constantly seek new ways to express and uplift the stories that need telling in innovational and unique ways. From musicals, to plays, to film, to video games, and more, I know that being a part of the creative world is what I am meant to do. My goal is to create and be a part of pieces of art that move people.I love the metaphor “All the world’s a stage,” by William Shakespeare. However, the later lines that are not as frequently quoted add context that completely change the meaning. “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances.” As a theater performer and Shakespeare lover, this is a quote that has a special place in my heart.To me, this quote represents how things will happen as they are meant to happen, and that we don’t have as much influence as we think that we do. Everything has a time and a place, and a scene cannot continue forever. We live our lives and make our mark, but we may wind up being a comedic foil in a tragedy (possibly without our knowledge). We make our mark and put our heart and soul into the time we have before we are called to exit. There are so many things out of our control. Learning to make the most of the hand you’re dealt is one of the most important lessons we learn in life in my opinion, and I’m still working hard to attempt to master it. I believe that through art and creative storytelling, we are able to step outside of ourselves and into the footprints of another, allowing us to learn lessons without experiencing the consequences and live lives we don’t have the opportunity to live. Although we do not have control over many things, we have control over the stories we tell, the messages we choose to share, and the lives we dare to change. And, that is more than enough for me.
