this is a beautiful photo from a cirque du soleil performance. I chose this photo because one of my dreams is to work as a stage manager for cirque du soleil, as it combines my love for different cultures and languages with my love for unique live production.

I chose this photo because I love seeing how much actual work goes into any live production behind the scenes. I notice lists of credits for production workers tend to be so much longer than lists of performers for any given production.

One of my main goals as an artist is to be as well rounded as I can possibly get. Not only do I deeply enjoy learning new and exciting things, but I also have a strong desire to have a large skillset. In the world of theater and live performance, the possibilities are endless, especially in the production world.

Currently, I'm working on an opera - I've been very inspired by different cultural operas recently and have been very interested in opera in general. I want to work on more operas in the future and know my way around stage managing it.

One of my lifetime goals is to travel the world. I chose this video because emma chamberlain posts so many travel vlogs that I really admire and ever since I was a kid traveling with my parents I have always had a hunger for seeing the world and immersing myself into different cultures.

As an artist, I am actively growing and figuring out my place in the world. Whenever I doubt my abilities or get intimidated about what I aspire to be in the future, I always remind myself that I am still learning things every single day and that I am still young and growing. There are countless things that I am enthusiastic to learn about and that makes me feel positive about the future!

I loved this podcast episode that we listened to for class. It really opened my eyes to the idea of trust in a collaboration. There were things said in this episode that I have never thought about.

Collaboration is something that is incredibly essential for the work that I do. Not only is it essential, it is one of the main reasons why I decided to be a stage manager. To be a successful stage manager or designer or technician, you MUST collaborate with others and you must interact with people a lot. I love people and I love to create connections, especially in the environment that is theater or live production and artistry. I love being with others who are artists and who are just as passionate about this career as I am.

I think collaboration matters not only in the practice of artistry and live production but also in day to day life. I've noticed that we as people collaborate on so many things and connections with other humans can be such a huge motivator and helper in our lives.

The way that integrated media is used in the show "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" is really incredible to me. I have wanted to get into integrated media and have wanted to learn so much about it since seeing this show and realizing the full potential of integrated media through learning about it in my first semester. I hope to soon learn more and get involved in the world of integrated media for theater.

I always draw a lot of inspiration from my own life experiences and things/people that I have come across in my life. I like to draw inspiration from culture and languages, I draw inspiration from the people I value most in my life, and more. I like that inspiration can come from anything in your life and I am always looking out for anything that can inform what I do.

Sometimes, I feel like I lack inspiration and creativity. I don't always think of myself as a highly artistic person and I often get down on myself whenever I have to do something creative. I am constantly working on this issue and I think as I learn and grow, I will find ways to find inspiration easier and really hone in my craft, whatever it may be.

I think my biggest influence in everything I do is my mom. She has always supported me in all of my endeavors and projects and has been the one to stand behind me through everything. She is the most intelligent woman I know and I am always motivated because of her!!!

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's important to remember our core influences whenever doing anything artistic because often those influences are the reason why we do what we do! We are influenced all the time by so many outside forces and I think we should also remember to be influenced by our own experiences in life as well.

One of the most powerful influences in my life is my culture! Culture and languages in general are a big inspiration in my life and have always interested me.

I always get motivation to continue working or continue being involved in things because of my main influences. Again, namely my mom because she is such an incredibly hard worker and her passion and drive for the things she cares about has always inspired me. Reminding myself of my mom and checking in with her has always gotten me through any challenges and I am glad that I have her to lean on.

I believe advocacy in art is extremely important and NEEDS to be talked about as much as possible. I believe that art creates a better world and that can only happen when art is used for speaking out and creating good influences. I love art advocacy!

Janelle Monae is one of my favorite artists - she works in multiple different fields and I admire how much importance she puts in advocacy and speaking about important topics in her work. This song in particular impacted me a lot as an artist interested in advocacy.

I believe that really thinking about your values and things that are important to you when creating artwork is crucial to making art that is filled with love. My goal is to help create art that is filled with love and passion and all the things that help influence other artists.

I would put Troye Sivan in every category of this padlet if I could. He just puts so much pure life in his work and his music videos that always makes me feel so much. This is something that I value incredibly in artwork because I believe that when we remember the importance of humans and pure human connection and life, our work becomes so much more relatable and more full of emotion.
