ROCKET GIRL LAUNCHED

CASSIDYALEXA was officially launched on Jan 1, 2018 at 9:11PM. 1/1/9:11.

Thank you to all of the CREATURES of CASSIDYALEXA for making this possible.

I’m here because of you. My gratitude is for you. I pray that you feel the appreciation I have for each and every one of your fine ass selves.

A special thanks to my assistant Mo, who is dealing with the daily demands of a mind that can’t sit still, let alone behave.

The horizon is full and fertile. We have so many collaborations already in the making, events being planned, connections being made, art being submitted, and ambassadors spreading soil all over the globe. We are really fucking doing it.

This company has been something that I have always wanted to do. Since before the internet was a thing, or at least, you know, before it was a thing. Since before cell phones. Since before pagers. Since before you could be the pilot of your own palm, this has been an ever present dream.

I wanted an outlet for the belligerant buzz of the brain. I ached for the freedom to focus all of my interests into spokes of artistically inclined ventures. To synthesize the fiberoptics, to tune the wild antenna, to distill the sea at large. Life itself is its own work of art, and I am finally articulating the curation of my dreams into reality. Although I wonder, really, if there is any difference between the two?

My passions are broad and spanning. My yearn to create seeks no rest. If I am creating, I am ecstatic. If I am not, I am stifled by stagnation.

Most predominantly at the beginning of our careers as actors and dancers, we are playing the subordinate role of the muse. Caught in submission, we are desperate to be chosen, to be seen, to be heard. Often waiting and seldom creating, we are at the mercy of someone else’s decision; to hire or not to hire. Ice statues frozen and paralyzed until given permission to express.

I realized this year that the silent puppet is not enough for me. I need to be involved in the entire process; I need to feel a sense that I am contributing to the creative direction of the entire piece.

A year ago I would have been contented to act or dance in anything without question, but something cosmically switched. Although I will continue to act and dance, no amount of money or fame could attract me to do that which I do not believe in. Nothing could cause me to compromise my own artistic integrity. I crave and require the richness of collaboration, and the quality is quintessential.

So here this company is. A platform for myself, with others, to create, to connect, to collab. No waiting to be accepted or allowed. A place to direct. A place to funnel. A place to call mine. A place where you can do the bloody same.

CASSIDYALEXA is a visceral feeling sense, and cannot be defined in plain terms. I love that. I love that people are calling it a ‘movement.’ I refuse to condense the company into 140 characters. I recoil at the request to nail it down and box it up into a package to be simply digested. No. That negates the entire vision and purpose of this organization. CASSIDYALEXA is best described in my Mission Statement, at the bottom of the main page, and could not possibly be further explained.
