this piece holds such a special place in my heart. my final dance at AUB, commemorating all our hard work & growth over the three years of being here. this piece is in dedication to all our lectures, technique teachers, guest artists & peers for their support over the past three years. this performance was my last ever performance with these people that mean so much to me, in this place that means so much to me. i feel so connected to this piece and all that went into it - not just the weeks leading up to show creating it, but the entire journey i have been on through my time studying at AUB, a journey that i am beyond grateful for; a journey that made me into not only the dancer i am, but the person i am. to me, this dance represents all the growth & change & challenge & accomplishments that made me into the dancer i am. i poured my heart and soul into my time studying at AUB & i feel so grateful for the chance to dance one last time with these people who i got to do that with. i’ve never felt such raw emotion on stage - and more than that such a complete combination of emotions; joy and pride for fulfilling our time here, celebrating all we have achieved yet also immense sadness to leave it all behind. the knowledge of dancing a piece whilst knowing it’s concluding such a monumental chapter of your life is incomparable & i will always cherish the feeling of that final bow together.
