Meet Caja Pearson | Young choreographer & dancer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Caja Pearson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Caja, what inspires you?
Inspiration is a complex and personal experience that can take on various forms. As for me, I have found that my inspiration never comes from a single source. Instead, it is a culmination of external factors that fuel my creativity and drive me to pursue my goals. These sources of inspiration can range from observing an exceptionally talented artist at work to spending quality time with loved ones who support and encourage me. However, if there is one person who has been my constant source of inspiration, it is my sister. She has been there for me since the beginning, encouraging me to pursue my dreams and to never give up. Her unwavering support has been the backbone of my passion for what I do, and she continues to inspire me every day. I am grateful for her presence in my life, and I am humbled by the impact she has had on my journey.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Through my art, I express my deepest emotions and thoughts. Each piece that I create is a reflection of my inner self and my experiences. When I present my work, I put myself in the audience’s shoes and think about how they would perceive it. My aim is to create a distinctive style that people can recognize as my own. I want them to see my work and say, “That’s Caja Pearson’s art.” Dance is not merely a sequence of steps, but a story that has to be told creatively. I believe that dance can be used as a form of expression that can convey various emotions, from joy and excitement to sorrow and pain. As a dancer, I strive to tell these stories effectively through my movements. I focus on every detail, from the choreography and the music to the lighting and costumes, to create a compelling performance that will leave a lasting impression on the audience.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Whenever a friend comes into town after a long time, I get very excited and plan to make the most of our time together. One of the things that I always suggest doing is going for cart racing. It’s a great way to have a friendly competition with someone you haven’t seen in a while and catch up on life while having fun. The adrenaline rush of the race, along with the constant cheering and excitement, makes for a memorable experience. Apart from that, we also love to watch movies together. While watching movies in a theater is great, I prefer having my closest friends come over to my place. It’s a more relaxed and comfortable environment where we can truly enjoy each other’s company. We usually play games, make some popcorn, or buy candy to snack on while watching the movie. It’s a perfect way to spend quality time with friends and catch up on all the things that we’ve missed out on in each other’s lives. Overall, these activities are not just about having fun but also about creating memories that will last a lifetime. Whenever my friends and I reminisce about old times, these moments always come up, and we can’t help but feel grateful for the experiences we shared. better experience overall. We can play games, usually make popcorn or buy candy to sit down and catch up on life.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Since I was a child, my mother has been my biggest cheerleader. She has been my constant source of support, always there to encourage me and push me to be my best. As a dancer, I have faced many challenges, but my mom has always been there to help me overcome them. Through all the hardships and conflicts that I have encountered in my journey as a dancer, my mother has never failed to support me. She has always been like a solid wall behind me, providing unwavering support and guidance. Her love and dedication are what have kept me going, even during the toughest times. It’s not just her emotional support that has helped me succeed. My mother has also been instrumental in helping me carve my path towards success. She has always been there to provide me with resources, advice, and guidance, always pushing me to be better and do better. While others have helped me along the way, no one has done it quite like my mom. She has been my rock, my safe haven, and my guiding light. Without her, I couldn’t imagine myself being the dancer I am today.
