Oberlin Blogs

I would not be the same anywhere else. And I’m not sure I would want to be anyone else.

I ushered in my weekend with a small, dance-related existential crisis.

My experience in the opera pit for Oberlin's The Marriage of Figaro.

After only just discovering dance, I dived right in this summer and attended ADF, one of the largest summer dance intensives in the country. What resulted was one of the most empowering, exhausting and transformative experiences of my life.

For the start of my glorious Summer of Movement™, I headed to Brooklyn, New York, couch hopped for three weeks, and took just about every single class offered at the Brooklyn Zoo Gym: Parkour, Tricking, Breakdancing, Bar Conditioning, Contortion, etc.

I wanted a program where I would be given the freedom to pursue different styles of filmmaking, because I was getting bored with knowing the ins and outs of really normal video-making, for lack of a better term.

There's something unique about being an AAPI artist that presents its own set of complexities and conflicts that made the experience of hanging out with other AAPI artists give me a sense of hope and comfort about my decision to become a filmmaker.

I'm not a Theater major, and I've never actually taken a theater class. But I've found that there's a vibrant student theatre scene on campus, and that there are opportunities for non-majors to act in the department shows that happen each semester.

I just put in the last puzzle piece, and I feel complete.

A long look at what I did this summer and what I'll be doing next semester, with cute animal photos!

A post that contemplates how much impact we have as musicians while I also provide highlights of my experience at the 150th anniversary of the conservatory piano celebration.

My first thought when I opened the email saying that my show had been picked for the fall program was "Oh my god, I'm going to play the Jurassic Park theme song so many times."
