Where it all started…
Passion for choreography:
Throughout her time at OCU Lorelai has had the opportunity to choreograph for Project 21-Music for the 21st Century. Through this experience she got to work with a student composer choreographing to an original piece of music. She also got to collaborate with another OCU student, to choreograph The Drowsy Chaperone for the musical theater department. She then had the opportunity to choreograph for the Student Choreography show, bringing her own artistic vision to life. Lorelai then had the opportunity to be assistant to Vincent Sandoval in the opera The Merry Widow.
