Why is this opportunity important to you?	
Mackenna Van massenhoven: I had really bad stage fright for a very long time. Especially after the pandemic, it's so important to really just get out there and express myself and for other people my age to do the same thing.

What does it mean to you to be a performing artist?	
Mackenna Van massenhoven: It really means spreading the love to other people.
