Dear 2019 Janelle Ginestra Adams

Emoting is something that is so important in my journey as a dancer and choreographer. Being vulnerable enough for people to see what Ive been through and go through is such an honest way to show who I am as an artist. I wanted to do something for my students to be able to watch back in a few years and see what 2019 was like for them. To show a visual diary of pain, happiness, growth, peace, and experience that they experienced. I told them to write a letter to 2019. I recorded their voices and quickly after had them move to it. Nothing planned or rehearsed just an organic way of releasing and conveying what that letter meant to them. Enjoy how vulnerable, magical, brave and beautiful these humans were.
