Echoes of the First Laugh

To all of the community members who came to support Echoes of the First Laugh—thank you!

Thank you for arriving with open hearts. Thank you for witnessing, for feeling with us, for meeting the dancers in the tenderness and the laughter and the deep exhale of it all. What we made together felt real and nourishing and very much alive.

This show was born from an invitation inward—to remember who we were before the world told us who to be. You’ll see a little Inner Child Reflection exercise in the post images attached. If you feel called, take a moment this week to sit with it. Be gentle. Be curious. Be playful. Your younger self is still right there and wants your attention.

This production is the result of countless hours of artistry, collaboration, and devotion from our choreographers, dancers, and production team. Their commitment and heart are woven into every moment of this show. Thank you to these incredible artists:

It is an honor to create in a community that believes in art not just as performance, but as healing, remembrance, and a return to ourselves.

May we keep remembering.

May we keep dancing.

May we keep choosing wonder.

And may we all be fat with the good sh*t!
