You are not defined by what you do (or don't do)

I use to experience a deep feeling of unworthiness when I (quite often) didn't meet societies expectations. That was until I found myself beneath the surface of this physical world, and realized my worthiness is not only innate, but unbreakable. I do hope this video allows you to maybe see the same... :) Thank you for watching, Katie
My process of working alone as a dancer

This video is an insight into not only my personal process of working alone as a dancer, but also a snippet of an unexpected and raw situation. Thank you for watching, Katie Disclaimer: I have been given written permission by the pianist, Trisha Wolf, to utilize her cover of "The Sugar Plum Fairy," composed by Tchaikovsky. Thank you Trisha!
It's okay to slow down

Slowing down is the best thing I have ever done. Artists in the video are Alex Eulenberg (guitar) and Ari Solovyova (melodica)! They are singing “Exactly Like You;” words by Dorothy Fields and music by Jimmy McHugh. Thank you for watching! Katie
If the world ended tomorrow, this is what I would do

If the world really was going to end, I would simply be as I am, and do what I do. Observe in silence, and maybe - no, MOST CERTAINLY dance :) Thank you for watching! Katie
I started late…

Hello, friend! This video is a condensed story of how I started late; not only in ballet, but also seemingly in life. It was a challenge to write and compose this video in a way that didn't just paint an image of darkness and difficulty. My intention of sharing this is to leave you with understanding the importance of your existence, and to never doubt yourself! Thank you for watching, Katie
The Bird and The Child
Просмотров 275Месяц назад
Hello, friend! The Bird and The Child is a metaphor highlighting the intangible nature of the childlike innocence within each of us, and the phenomenon of chasing something that cannot be found externally. Many of us are taught things that leave us feeling sour. Emotions that can be overwhelming, leaving us raw. Until one day, we may awaken to the beauty that is unscathed and always within us. ...

    I love your energy. When you teared up, I felt it. True authenticity is weirdly beautiful. My favorite saying is Beauty Is In The Eyes Of The Beholder. It’s the beautiful weirdos that see beauty in everything. Or if you only like one thing, they are still beholding in something beautiful about that one thing. And it’s weird, yet beautiful lol

    Being weird is Human! Weird begets funny and funny begets joy and joy begets happiness, and all originates from Love. Now you create your play and each frame is recorded. You find your truth from within as you navigate the ups and downs of your chosen character. Who is this I that was never born and can never die? This I that exists within all things yet seems silent and withdrawn. It is unnecessary to be other than what you are, for it is that which you are that you cannot escape. That which you are is not the I of identification, but only the I of pure Love. 💚👍🎬🐈‍⬛ You are becoming an excellent movie director. A movie within a movie! Be well! 🙌🎉

    @GroatFairdig День назад

    It's profoundly weird, in sometimes wonderful and sometimes terrifying ways. To be here, now, wondering what it means. We gaze questioningly at the stars but they keep their silence. It has to mean something to someone, somewhere along the line. We must be more than elementary particles that collided and recombined until one day they could say, and feel, "I love you." And you're right, whatever the point is, it can't be to compete for prizes: to clutch our medal and say look at me, I won, I'm the winner, too bad for those losers over there. That seems so small, so unworthy of the vast and beautiful mystery we find ourselves contemplating. Wishing you and kitty a joyful and serene week, where the mysteries of life bring more enchantment than exasperation.

      Us vs. them is the deception. Right or Wrong is the perception. Truth which is from Love is perfection. The mind a circle of reflected animation, which manifests many unaware desires. Soon the heart surveys the words the mouth conveys and then the eye can see the “sin” of duality! 🙏

    I grew up working class in a culture desert and was never exposed to ballet. Then while home sick one day in my early twenties I was channel flicking and happened upon a production of The Nutcracker that was just starting on an arts channel. For the next couple of hours I sat still and silent in rapt attention, mesmerized by the grace and beauty of what I was seeing, and moved, as you were by the food on your plate, to tears of gratitude that something of such transcendent loveliness had entered my humdrum existence. I feel that way about all the great works of art I've had the privilege to see, hear, and read. They truly enriched my life and in many cases constitute the high points of it. I don't want to use the dreadful word binged, but I just watched all your content in one sitting on a rainy Sunday afternoon in a similar state of enchantment. Your ballerina's musicality seems to translate into your videos, which have a melodious and hypnotic quality. I feel like I've lived lifetimes in the course of one of your videos - in a good way, because of the dance they lead me on through the haunted forest of consciousness. I know from my own creative tribulations that there's always that voice saying what's the point, why bother, who cares. So I just wanted to say that you've touched my life today, and refreshed my jaded view of the world. Keep going, Katie, and I'm sure you'll enrich many more lives.

      @@KatieMeece You're more than welcome. Thanks for daring to be vulnerable so you can give sustenance and consolation to others. You're absolutely right about the epidemic of anxiety. Another way I heard it put recently is that there's a lot of ambient dread. Our collective spiritual condition seems very bad. I think we're suffering the effects of organizing society around economic productivity and consumption to the detriment of other dimensions of life and many people are feeling the gnawing emptiness, whether they acknowledge it or not. We need contact with the transcendent. We need art, beauty, and the stars more than ever. The city's light pollution blotting out the stars for many people is such a good metaphor for our predicament. It was heartening to see you camp under the brilliant night sky. And the smile you offer to your viewers and to passers-by is so full of genuine human warmth that it's like a camp fire to embattled souls huddled against the coldness of the world. If you keep at this inevitably there'll be mean-spirited comments that make you regret your vulnerability, but don't be disheartened - I hope and trust that the generosity with which you give of yourself will be returned by the universe.

      @@GroatFairdigIt is a beautiful thing that you are aware of this, as I feel many are becoming more so. Even in the midst of the chaos we are witnessing, there is an equal amount of goodness and growing awareness balancing it out. Also, through radical acceptance of the state of humanity and my prior inner resistance, I have found an unchanging peace within myself. Which I do feel has the greatest impact on shifting the collective consciousness. (Many great spiritual teachers speak of this, so I have listened intently.) Again, thank you for your wonderfully kind words and support. I am very grateful!

    First of all, I'm very sorry that you lost your friend/mentor. Even if it wasn't a perfect relationship, it obviously was a meaningful one in your life. Second, I wonder if you have thought of other directions you might take with your dancing, though I'm sure you have. I recently watched a video on RUclips titled 'Silver Feet'. Your video made me think it might be helpful. There are a couple of girls in the video that were in a similar place to where you are now, and who went on to have unexpected futures in dance. If you're happy dancing alone, that is wonderful. However, you mentioned the desire for community. I wonder if you might enjoy working with some of the children at your studio. You obviously have the talent to be an effective mentor to other dancers. You could also pursue solo work for independent ballet productions, such as The Nutcracker. Whichever way you go, I wish you happiness! We often don't realize that it's the journey we will remember more than the final destination. You will treasure these days all of your life, even if it does not feel that way now. :)
