00:00This is Tim Wasper from Festtrek Concert TV.
00:28I'm here at the Regal Cinemas Union Square in New York City for Dances with Films New York.
00:36I think sometimes it feels like I can only be loved if I am the best.
00:43And like getting cut and getting rejected audition after audition after audition.
00:49It just feels like I'm not good enough sometimes.
00:52And that's hard because I've worked so hard, you know?
00:58But it's not going to stop me.
01:08What do I truly want? How do I truly feel about things and life and my relationships and dance and my career?
01:20I think specifically with doing this, I really did follow instinct because naturally I'm a type two, which is the helper.
01:37And, you know, it's a heart center type. It's similar to the three, but also quite different.
01:45But I knew that that lens, that my gift with that lens instinctually was being able to connect with people and being able to like see them.
01:56And I wanted to be able to portray that to the audience.
02:02So in this particular project, I really went with instinct because I wanted I want the audience to know these characters in that way and in the way in which I see them and love them for exactly who they are.
02:17And that they all have something to teach us about ourselves. And so for me, I really used instincts over technique.
02:27I'll let you answer. Yeah, I think actually same. I think I had to trust my instincts and I think I had to I think I had to trust my foundation as a dancer and know that that was just there and sort of allow the other part that often does get hidden.
02:47My instinct to come alive. And yeah, I mean, it taught me so much just about like the ability that I have as a storyteller and of just sort of what's naturally in me and that I don't have to work so hard that it's just there.
03:07And that's the whole thing with the three. So, yeah. Yeah.
03:12I hope that you remember like what you just inherently have.
03:20I love you. I love you. I'm proud of you. You're going to be okay. Just fine. You're going to be amazing. You better bring me to the Tonys or whatever award show. Like I better be invited. Duh. You kidding? You're performing with me. We're doing a duet.
03:42Duh. Duh. Duh. Duh. Duh. Duh. Duh.
03:46Duh. Ready? Just do that. Duh. Duh. Duh. Duh. Duh.
03:50Showing here in New York meant so much for the reason that this particular episode really, you know, the Achiever is New York, you know, it's like you were saying.
04:02So it was just this very, it was just a gift from the universe, honestly.
04:08And we've been saying our location actually for each character has a lot to do with the story we're trying to tell.
04:17So do they change locations?
04:19Yes, yes, yes.
04:21Well, we will come back to New York.
04:22I think we'll use like the location again, just because a lot of artists live here.
04:27But it just so happens that for the three specifically, we could not have had a better location.
04:34It was the best.
04:34It was just such a gift.
04:37So, yeah.
04:37But can you talk about New York and the love of New York and being here?
04:41Because you are here.
04:43Yes, yes.
04:43And that shot on the roof.
04:45I love it because it makes you feel one with the city and yet your own individual.
04:50Yeah.
04:51The three is disconnected.
04:52That was really interesting.
04:54So I was like, what?
04:55Like, I feel everything really deeply.
04:57But I think the disconnect is how I truly feel about myself.
05:06I think that's where I'm disconnected from my heart.
05:08The pain that I feel in knowing that, not that I've pretended, but I'm just really good at being a lot of things.
05:21But like what I truly want for myself is really hard.
05:26And I think that I didn't realize that I was living like so much for other people.
05:35I like knew it, but I just don't think I ever admitted it until like all of this.
05:41And then like really experiencing like the pain with like almost neglecting myself.
05:46And how long I've been doing that and how like ingrained that is.
05:52I think that there was fear in it being shown here because so many New Yorkers and artists and humans in general, we just exist in this trying to succeed way.
06:10That I was worried about how that was going to come across.
06:14And I was nervous that I'm like, do I sound like a crybaby, like all of these questions.
06:21But I think that that's actually what's going on inside for so many of us here.
06:27So I had a lot of pride in talking about that and just talking with my friends and all of us who experience this all the time and these feelings all the time.
06:39So I think it was it was scary, but at the same time, like just so serendipitous and it could not have been more perfect that the one we were able to shoot here and then show it here.
06:55And then like I go back to my real life tomorrow, you know.
07:09And then like I go back to my real life tomorrow, you know.
07:25And I love you.
