As most of you may realize today is New Years Day. The first day of the new year, a day when people create a list of all of their resolutions, all the ways they are going to change them self. they make a "to do" list, or rather, a "what not to do list" that is going to some how help them reach their goals and at the end of the year give them a more satisfying life. i am taking a different approach. I have been inspired by my friend Shelleen (www.shaykostabi.com) to choose a word that will be my theme of the year. this theme is going to impact all of my choices and help me to reach the goals and hopes I have for the coming year. My theme for 2015 is CREATIVITY, and my mantra is CHANGE THROUGH CREATIVITY. the reason I have chosen creativity as my word is because it has been a driving force through my entire life. I have always tried to do things for myself, learn new things,and have new experiences. As a costume designer i once said that my goal as an artist was to inspire creativity and imagination in others. I want people to see my designs and the shows i work on and be inspired to take a piece of it and incorporate it into their own life. In 2011 I created the Emerging Artist Concert Series, it was too be the kind of show i wanted to be a part of, a place where i could express my artistic voice and share my ideas with others. In 2014 we changed the name of the concert series to One Night Only, it was a bigger show, a bigger idea, and needed a name that had the confidence I now had for the show and for myself. In 2014 I also created Second Star Entertainment, which has under gone several transformations in it's early stages as well. My hope for Second Star Entertainment is that it will go hand in hand with what I have already done, and build upon it. While princess parties and musical theatre cabarets are not something people usually link together, I hope that people will see my vision, and see the wider scope of what i hope to create and share with this world, and that they will love it. In my mind I see a company that has great potential to give artists the chance to create amazing things as well as give the audience the kind of art that will cause them to smile, laugh, reflect, and inspire them to manifest and create their own dreams. If you can see something in your mind you can make it a reality. My hope is that i will continue to find other artists to collaborate with and be inspired by, and hopefully my own work will inspire as well.
