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.
Public Speaking, 2019
October 4th & 5th, Tessa did a presentation, "On How Art Impacts the Artist." Dealing with mental and emotional health, Tessa shared demonstrations of her solo show & spoke on her own personal story of "Inner Reformation." 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.
