Hello! My name is Abigail Fawn. I am a current musical theatre major and dance minor at Samford University. I am originally from East Tennessee where I was born to two musicians. Always getting the chance to perform, I quickly fell in love with the rush.
Whenever I was feeling any emotion really strongly, I always felt it was easy to put that feeling into a song. Once completed, I would sing this song to myself over and over until that emotion had run its course through my soul. In recent months, I have felt more of a boldness and willingness to share my music with others. Acknowledging that the human experience is very similar and I am not the only one to every feel these emotions. I hope that my music will one day be able to help someone as much as it has helped me.
I did not find my love of dance until age 15, which is substantially late for most dancers. I always felt embarrassed in humbled dancing among tongue girls in the beginning years of my relationship with dance. I worked overtime in my technique classes to make up for lost time, and found my flexibility put me ahead in the game. (My first ballet teacher actually told me I should try contortion! Which, coincidentally, I did later in life.) The movement and physical freedom found in dance is unlike anything else and I am so thankful to have found this passion. Dance does not have a language barrier so it is easy to just let yourself go to the flow of the music. Anyone of any background or location can dance because all you need is yourself and your emotions.
In more recent months, I have really discovered her love for film, both acting and editing. I had always found myself being “aggressively observant” to no avail besides annoying my friends. However, when you take the attention to detail to the editing of footage, the end result can be magical. Sharp angles and clean cuts and always worth the extra time staring at the screen.
Finding what your worth truly lies in is hard. It is so easy to think that what you look like and what you can do is all that you will amount to, but your soul is worth so much more than that. Everyone is worth so much more than what they put on the stage, and I think finding the little lights in others is beautiful.
