“When people look into our eyes, they can tell right away: We Mean It.” ~Guillermo Gómez Peña

There’s this large chance that I’m a Performance Artist, but I’ve only ever considered myself an Actor. The difference? I dunno ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The question of it’s possible to be both lingers, so I’ll be attempting to answer that in this next chapter. What I do know is that to be an Actor is to speak for those who cannot and advocate for the life living in the nooks and crannies our modern society would rather us forget. Some might say, “She’s absolutely too much,” others might say, “Without her, I wouldn’t know how to give myself permission.” No matter the valid opinion, what I do know in my gut is the defiant art of Ensemble and the resilient protest against individuality by having an opinion. I am Specific. I am a Contradiction. And, for better or worse, I am an Artist.
