This post is from second-year Open Dream Ensemble member and dancer, Kjerstin Lysne. In addition to her work with Open Dream, Kjerstin has busied herself with the lead role of a series pilot. Just back from a week at White Oak Elementary School, Kjerstin is having a quite weekend and wrote the following reflection.
What a week! A very busy, challenging week, but I can't imagine a better place in which we could have spent it. We just returned from a residency in Cape Carteret, where we were put up on Emerald Isle, almost directly on the beach. So when we weren't performing, teaching, or planning, I was soaking up the sun, swimming in the ocean, walking on the beach.
Other highlights of the week: Peter's birthday, James' birthday (happy birthday once again, boys!), and yesterday, our last day at White Oak Elementary School, which has served as reminder of the positive impact we are having on the young lives with whom we come into contact. If ever I doubt this again, I can just look at the seashells and the bag full of thank you notes and pictures given me by Mrs. Benson's 3rd grade class to remind myself again. Thank you to all the students and teachers of WOES for making this past week so wonderful!
