It has been a full year of growth, travel, and personal challenges. I have remained resolute that the power of art, theater, and the creative process helps us live an optimal and full life. I tried to winnow down to the top five experiences from 2023. It was difficult and still feels incomplete. I always lean towards being comprehensive in my approach and getting the most out of every experience, no matte what. I don’t think of the “best” being the “only.” So, here are five top experiences I had that I feel like are rising to the top of my memory. Here is to your 2024 - may it be fruitful, generative, and full of care.
