Our Story.
It all started with an idea. An idea of family. A place we can call home without any bloodties with anyone. A place we can find refuge in. A place we can share our ideas and not be condemned or left aside. A place where we can be, who we want to be and not who we are dictated to be. A place where shelter and food is always prepared. A place to grow and push boundaries. This was our home.
This place happens to be our first location as a collective of dancers, choreographers, musicians, visual artists and many more. But with every beginning, it comes with an ending. Not everything is meant to last forever.
Initially, it was deserted, horrid and full of disgust. But we breathed life into it. We flipped it into a home where we can grow together. Our ties to this place will forever be ingrained into our memories, and the accolades we have achieved, we achieved it while being here.
Our story is the story of many broken pieces that come together as one. Our story is the story of the many who struggled and gave up hope in their dreams. Our story is the story of inspiration, love, respect and truth. Our story is the story of curiosity and courage to step into the uncertainty.
Truth be told, not everything seen on the outside is beautiful on the inside. We struggled, and yes we are still striving in our struggles but this is not the end. We promise to live your hopes and dreams, keep them alive. Keep them strong. Keep them in our hearts.
Every episode until this one is part of this story. Every struggle, hardship, happiness and sadness is in our story. Thank you for being with us, and continue to follow us in our journey as a collective who strives to entertain in quality and innovative ideas. Your endless support has been the burning charcoal to our spark.
As every story has an ending, ours will live forever in our legacy. The time for a new wave of curiosity, courage and a new beginning is coming.
With Love,
