Feel

Bipolar disorder is a mental health disorder that has a tremendous impact on an individual that causes extreme mood swings. It can be managed in a way that is hidden externally, but internally, there are conflicts and uncontrollable emotions that overtake each other at unpredictable times.

As part of a collaboration with the Dance studio at Kennesaw State University, I was tasked to write a three-minute composition that a choreographer would then take and perform. My partner, Lelahbrooke White, outdid herself by bringing this piece to life. By differentiating the two sides of emotions with my two contrasting music sections, she illustrated the difficulties that occur from this disorder. Fighting back and forth, she eventually finds a way to take control of her emotions in the end.
