Theatre, for me, has always lived in the small spaces the pause before a line, the breath before movement, the quiet before light hits the stage. It’s where emotion becomes something you can see. I fell in love with theatre through singing. The music taught me how to listen to rhythm, to silence, to other people. Theatre gave me the opportunity to use my voice in a new way. When I perform, I’m not just telling a story; I’m translating feelings into motion, shaping something invisible into something that can be shared. What I love most about theatre is that it’s never finished. Every rehearsal is a discovery, every performance a new truth. It’s fragile and human and fleeting, which makes it feel sacred. I’m drawn to honesty onstage the kind that makes people uncomfortable, laugh unexpectedly, or recognize themselves for just a second. For me, theatre is about empathy. It’s about connection and courage letting people see the parts of us we usually hide. When I’m performing, I feel most alive, most open, most capable of understanding others. That’s why I keep coming back to it: because in theatre, I find pieces of myself I didn’t know were missing, and I get to offer them to others in return.
