songs for a new world
Who I played
what i learned
How i grew
In Songs for a New World, I played Amy (a featured singer in a musical number; Songs for a New World is a concert musical, so it doesn't have a narrative structure, more of a collection of songs).
This show taught me how to pick up music and choreography quickly. I was added to a number with only a few weeks to go before we opened, and I had to learn difficult choreography. Over time, I developed a better understanding of how to work in an ensemble and remember complex movement pieces.
I was a sophomore at the time of this show, and going into the rehearsal process, I was still getting comfortable with being a mover on such a big stage. After weeks of preparation and practicing the steps in my room long into the night, my hard work paid off, and I believe that I grew immensely as a dancer.
