Jennifer Trijo

Two weeks ago, the first development of my musical closed its season. As much as I enjoyed the outcome of presenting this work to its first audiences during the Adelaide Fringe, I valued the creative process even more. The presentation of art is often given most of the attention and praise, but it is the ‘becoming’ phase that I’m most interested in – and it is in the ‘becoming’ phase that Dragonfly lives.✨️

I want to thank my team for coming with me on this pilgrimage through unknown territory. They braved the land of the Sleepwalkers and emerged with a renewed sense of self – each so very skilled and generous with their contributions to the work. It was a true joy to work with the cast and creatives of NYMPH, and I’m so happy that Adelaide audiences appreciated their talents as much as I did.❤️

To everyone who came and witnessed Luna and Sol’s journey, I hope it spoke to you in some way. Each of us carries ancient wisdom within us, an inner knowing that defies logic. When you don’t know the way, ‘seek within’. I hope you continue to support us in the creation of this brand new work. You are as much a part of it as it is a part of you now.🌘

Thank you to the reviewers and critics who’ve given me valuable feedback on the compositions and libretto. I’m very happy that the first stage of Dragonfly – NYMPH – now exists in the world. Like a proud mother, I will continue to nurture it. I return to my writing desk and music studio to cultivate bigger ideas around the work. I can’t wait to share the next chapter with you soon.
