except me.

The piece "Except Me" explores the feelings of envy and comparison that many dancers face as they navigate their journey. The title, "Except Me," is a play on words, posing the question: "Why does this seem to happen for everyone except me?" At its core, the work delves into themes of self-acceptance, reminding us that the journey is as much about embracing ourselves as it is about overcoming external pressures.
