(Because even weak women have substance and are full people.)]]> 2022-02-01 10:28:29 UTC https://padlet.com/brooksavek00/17aqoj62rahlk2c2/wish/2023041068 brooksavek00 https://padlet.com/brooksavek00/17aqoj62rahlk2c2/wish/2023041406 The big value I have is making sure my passions and artistic practice never leaves someone feeling undermined or alone in emotions. Art evokes such raw feelings from people that leaves such vulnerability, and I'd like whoever partakes in my art, be it collaborators or viewers to never feel exposed in that vulnerability. ]]> 2022-02-01 10:28:46 UTC https://padlet.com/brooksavek00/17aqoj62rahlk2c2/wish/2023041406 brooksavek00 https://padlet.com/brooksavek00/17aqoj62rahlk2c2/wish/2023041880 Personally, I have had great experiences within doomed artistic collaborations, things that will stay with me forever. The value of collaboration isn't in the end goal, I think, but in the experience of working with likeminded people and loving something with them. If the project turns out horribly, there are still bound to be lessons learned.]]> 2022-02-01 10:29:08 UTC https://padlet.com/brooksavek00/17aqoj62rahlk2c2/wish/2023041880 brooksavek00 https://padlet.com/brooksavek00/17aqoj62rahlk2c2/wish/2023043032 This section is the though process and timeline I currently am working towards, through this semester, the rest of my time at college, and plans thereafter. I am currently working as the assistant director on Love and Information. Further into the future, I plan to get as involved as I am able to my senior year. My plans after graduation are concrete for a year, and then I can divulge on two paths: teaching or law school. Both call to me, both are interesting.]]> 2022-02-01 10:30:00 UTC https://padlet.com/brooksavek00/17aqoj62rahlk2c2/wish/2023043032 brooksavek00 https://padlet.com/brooksavek00/17aqoj62rahlk2c2/wish/2023044734 I make it a point to check in with myself after any artistic venture, no matter how small. Art can make people feel things they aren't familiar with, and mentally, that can tax anyone after interacting with it day after day. Being a fine arts major, seeking out art, experiencing art through music and television and movies and books; it's emotion after emotion day to day. I like to make it a habit to write out feelings, just to get them out, in no way poetically or effectively. ]]> 2022-02-01 10:30:41 UTC https://padlet.com/brooksavek00/17aqoj62rahlk2c2/wish/2023044734 brooksavek00 https://padlet.com/brooksavek00/17aqoj62rahlk2c2/wish/2023056618 Fleabag, created and written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, based on her one-woman show first performed in 2013.

(ex. Medea, the above painting of Ophelia, the "good for her" trope)]]> 2022-02-01 10:39:53 UTC https://padlet.com/brooksavek00/17aqoj62rahlk2c2/wish/2023057710 brooksavek00 https://padlet.com/brooksavek00/17aqoj62rahlk2c2/wish/2023061936 A very specific inspiration for me is music, specifically Fiona Apple and feminine rage presented in music. How music and pieces about rage truly connect to marginalized communities and why exactly people who experience oppression come to relate to madness and anger, and the emotions that are underneath it all.]]> 2022-02-01 10:42:59 UTC https://padlet.com/brooksavek00/17aqoj62rahlk2c2/wish/2023061936 brooksavek00 https://padlet.com/brooksavek00/17aqoj62rahlk2c2/wish/2023072581 The main values I have are making sure the human experience is lived together. There are many instances where I would have a big emotion, or feel something that I thought I wasn't supposed to feel, and then I'd look around and imagine if anyone else had felt that too, or if I was crazy for being emotional.

"Maybe I made a mistake yesterday, but yesterday’s me is still me. I am who I am today, with all my faults."]]> 2022-02-01 10:57:01 UTC https://padlet.com/brooksavek00/17aqoj62rahlk2c2/wish/2023080842 brooksavek00 https://padlet.com/brooksavek00/17aqoj62rahlk2c2/wish/2023083845 In this section, I mention music and the power it has to transcend meaning. Mitski is a Japanese-American singer, and many people feel that her lyrics and songwriting greatly speak to how they feel. In all it's interpretations, music has ways to make many people feel the same things.]]> 2022-02-01 10:59:16 UTC https://padlet.com/brooksavek00/17aqoj62rahlk2c2/wish/2023083845 brooksavek00 https://padlet.com/brooksavek00/17aqoj62rahlk2c2/wish/2023093118 In collaboration, we find art. We find love and friendship; we find hurt. We find the smallest things that brighten a day or darken it. In artistic collaboration, we discover passion and drive. The urge to be isolated and work alone can sometimes greatly affect the end goal of a project; it can and will destroy it. ]]> 2022-02-01 11:05:29 UTC https://padlet.com/brooksavek00/17aqoj62rahlk2c2/wish/2023093118 brooksavek00 https://padlet.com/brooksavek00/17aqoj62rahlk2c2/wish/2023099115 Above is an image of me and my high school cast of my senior One Act Play, a collaboration that was not my favorite experience.

My ideal goal would be to write and direct some one act play sometime, but a production of any beloved play or musical would also be something that I would enjoy immensely.]]> 2022-02-01 11:16:32 UTC https://padlet.com/brooksavek00/17aqoj62rahlk2c2/wish/2023107626 brooksavek00 https://padlet.com/brooksavek00/17aqoj62rahlk2c2/wish/2023111119 Again, looking at specifically the play Fleabag by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, this was an entirely one woman show, written and directed by her.

I've found it extremely, insanely difficult at times to feel things out for myself; to really hone in on what's troubling me. It's fairly difficult to do; if you get in the habit of validating your feelings, whether by just acknowledging them, or by seeking a way to help yourself, it can really, really be something that positively helps you. ]]> 2022-02-01 11:27:20 UTC https://padlet.com/brooksavek00/17aqoj62rahlk2c2/wish/2023122277 brooksavek00 https://padlet.com/brooksavek00/17aqoj62rahlk2c2/wish/2023123835 The app I linked is called Notion.
