• About the Project

  I want to create a compilation of dance pieces that tell my story. They will eventually become a film and/or musical. It will coincide with the novel I am writing about my life and everything I've learned. I am on a mission to use what I've been through to heal and inspire the world. I am looking for investors, production, dancers, choreographers, and collaborators. I have one hell of a story to tell that is bigger than just me. Would love any support I can get. It will recall particular experiences, inviting audiences and viewers inside to connect and show people that they are not alone. It is going to heal millions. I am excited about the impact it will have and am thrilled to pursue something I am so passionate about. I plan on posting the projects on Patreon, YouTube, and advertising them through my other dancing on social media. This will lay the foundation to build upon. I am ready to travel and bring this to life. This is what I was born to do. I have already begun building my social media following and will continue to expand. There are a plethora of directions for me to go in, and this is just one of them. If you'd like to hear more and me & my story, or are interested in getting involved, you can find me on Instagram (@kellymessol), kellymessol@gmail.com, or find me on YouTube (Kelly Messol). For now, I plan on using music that is reminiscent of specific memories and periods of my life, but will one day write my own music to tell my story, validate others' experiences, help people get in touch with the pieces themselves they've lost to the past, & produce films/projects and choreograph to. Where music videos, film, social media, songwriting, dancing, storytelling, and music meet with the intention of healing the collective and getting people back in touch with their inner child.

• The Healer's Journey: A Dance Story

  There is great opportunity here to produce independelty, as well as collaborate with other artists and reach millions to inspire them to NEVER give up on their dreams, in addition to opening the conversation to helping other music artists turn their music into movement, visualization, storytelling, and adding a layer of emotional depth to their music, both through film production/social media content and live performance, allowing audiences to really get to know the artists they idolize, and allowing artists to truly make a difference in the lives of others through nothing but authentic, raw, unedited self-expression, creating a cathardic experience for all involved, and alchemizing the emotional potential that too often goes avoided out of fear of rejection and a desire for approval into music, movement, film, and art. To truly manifest emotional experience into tangible creation to heal millions. To tell my story through dance and to help others do the same. Those in power have a duty to show up authentically that has gotten lost in the age of social media, follows, and likes, leaving me to wonder, is it about the art, or is it about what people think of the art? To show up authentically is to give others permission to do the same, and the best way to do that is to target the people in power. The people of influence. Influencers, if you will. The potential for change here is massive. The healing potential of social media is something that has gone overlooked for far too long, and it's about time we start using our gifts and talents as a means to build others up rather than tear them down.

• My Background

  Anything is possible if someone believes. I know who I could've become if I'd decided to give up on my dreams. A homeless addict or a depressed college graduate with a white picket fence, riddled with anxiety and wondering why everything society promised me never came true. I decided the risk was worth the reward. I decided I would rather fail in my pursuit of what I truly loved than succeed (with ease) at something I hated. I escaped what seemed to be my family destiny by finding faith in something greater than me and recognizing that we are all here for something much greater than we settle for: societal success, degrees we don't want, jobs we hate, and a life void of purpose and meaning aside from building the society that ripped our dreams away from us to begin with; all so we can say we've "made it." But where have we made it to? It's a problem we all experience and see, one we all talk about, and yet, we do nothing about it. This is the rise of the divine feminine. We cannot live this way much longer. It's time for us to get honest about who we are and who we truly want to be. And it's time for us to realize our dreams can come true. I am a living testament of hope. To give people hope and to restore their faith in the world, in their dreams, and most of all, themselves. That's what this project is for. Non-conformity, overcoming adversity, believing in yourself when no one else does, self-worth, external validation, depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, suicide, eating disorders, mental illness, abuse, emotional manipulation, and other social issues I've been touched by, in hopes of touching those who need it most. Looking to bring people together, heal, inspire, and change the world. We are here for greater. We have so much potential that goes untapped by overlooking our true strengths and, instead, trying to succeed in a game we never wanted to play in the first place. This is an entirely new direction in the dance industry. I'm here to change it. Dance has the potential for so much more than it has become. The art has gotten lost in the validation. The authenticity has gotten lost in the trend.
