I stayed and continued working in movement arts
What brought me to Boston is I wanted to expand my acting group
I got a job at the circus and love doing circus ever since
I found the circus community here because I grew up doing circus
I was looking for a similar circus to the one I was a part of
I got involved in circus
We really had to be there for each other
I very often feel supported in dance spaces created by my peers
I felt very supported in my community during a circus school trip
It felt good to just be able to truly be myself
It feels cool to have a job that is focused on gaining skills
I feel really supported working with Circus Up
I always feel supported in a lot of communities I'm a part of
I felt really supported by my community when I was debating circus
I feel very supported whenever I think about going into the studio
I don't feel super supported when I am in a space
I don't feel super supported when I am in a space that is around a campus
I find it incredibly segregated racially and not very open minded
I find it incredibly segregated racially and not very open minded
I was looking for a bigger city to be part of
Family brought me back
I think it's a social network that comes together for celebrations
Spaces where all are welcome
Centered around all bodies and spaces where all are welcome
It was like the first time Circus Up had done an outdoor festival
I feel incredibly unsupported because I know what's possible
I feel incredibly unsupported because I know what's possible
I feel their innate hostility to the idea that someone who looks like me knows anything
It gets under my skin so bad and it makes me so angry
Oh it's my people
I don't even dare to dream it
It's just shocking to me how undiverse it is once you get out
A community with diverse representation and space for disagreement
if the children were really centered everything else would fall in line
It's good to kind of just stop and breathe and think with others
You bring things and you talk it out
I followed her to be with her and moved to Boston
I moved here to do the arts and education program at Harvard
My dad came from Canada as a Holocaust survivor's refugee
My dad who came from Canada to Malden as a Holocaust survivor
Being at the helm of a lot of different community conversations
It was really hard time to move to a new city
There isn't that undercurrent we're just all there for each other
We're worried our landlord is going to someday figure out that rents could be increased a lot
It feels like we're saving for a house and that it's just always out running us
I feel like I'm letting down people all the time
I feel like I'm letting down people all the time
I sometimes feel not so supported by others in seeing the impacts
I worry more for people in my family and who don't look like me
Thinking a lot these days about Jewish inclusion safety and belonging
Jewish inclusion safety and belonging as a default
Hope we have more ways of talking to each other face to face
I feel empowered and supported in trying to insert myself wherever I might want to
I don't really think I'm taken seriously as a business owner
They didn't stay there but that's where they landed
I think it's interesting to think about when we feel supported
Spending my time trying to make the world better for more people
Bonded in the dark
that place that we go to perform every year and they have a little green room
Grades and how well I do in school
The gunshots and stuff
Grades help us get into better jobs
I mean in the city I live people are progressive and stuff
They'll probably make it more nice, and allow nice people
In 10 years from now the community is possibly going to be better
they would stop making us hide under our desk
