Tessa Priem's Gigs

Tessa's Gigs

Library Lets Loose, 2019

On the left is Tessa rehearsing for Library Lets Loose, a yearly event for Johnson County Public Library, KC. On the right, the slideshow from the actual event!

In rehearsal, Tessa went through MULTIPLE versions of how to entertain the folks. Inclined towards dancing in a serious/dramatic way, it was fun and challenging for her to "let loose" for the event. In the end, she ended up acting as a dancing greeter as patrons walked in from the rain. Greeting them with a smile, a friendly word, and beautiful movements, many of them were pleased, commenting on how graceful and beautiful her movements were.

Overall, it was a presentation geared towards encouraging the audience in their own art making. On the left is a photo slideshow of Tessa; on the right , video clips from her speaking.
