Life-Changing Event

"The trigger was a video my dad showed me of Michael Jackson. I was about six years old when I first saw the moonwalk. I thought, wow, I did not know the human body could do that, tell fictional stories, and convey so much. From that moment, I said, wow, I want to do that. I started practicing every day in front of a mirror at home, a small mirror in my house. Standing still at first, it was hard to move around because I had been practicing stationary with a small mirror. Later, when I discovered clowns, the circus, and so on, I realized you could tell a story not just with full body movement, but even while standing still, just with facial expressions."
