It's been a crazy week, but this WGI Championships week went by so fast. Incredibly proud of the staff and the members of Red Wave Indoor, for putting in hours on hours of work. It's amazing to see the final product flourish on the floor - and it's surreal to see the creation that we all have worked on together on the floor at the UD Arena. Every single person in the ensemble has taken part in the creation and execution of what we have put out for everyone to see at WGI Finals.
It's been a wild ride, just within those three days, bumping up multiple spots and becoming a top 10 finalist in Independent Open Class, with a 91.425, after climbing up every day from prelims, where we started in 15th with an 86.7. WGI is a hard “game” to play. A panel of judges putting numbers and placements to what can be considered theatre and art. Every person has their own spin and beliefs on how everything works.
It’s amazing to see how everyone in the activity is passionate about what they do. Every designer, performer, writer, or whatever “title” someone holds, has their own motives for what they do. But regardless of their motive, they put an incredible amount of time and effort into it. It pays off when the lot is packed, or when the seats are filled in the arena. It’s a small snapshot of what we are, only to wrap it up and move on to the next season. I’m glad to have had the opportunity to talk to a couple people while at championships, and it really allows me to shape my perspectives on a lot of different things.
After a long journey back home with flight delays and an extra night in Ohio, the season is finally over. I'm excited to move forward and see what's next.
