A few laughs, and some more dance!

This spring has been a whirlwind of auditions, classes, and rediscovering what I love about performing.

In the last month I've jumped back into the comedy world and completed Improv 201 training with the Upright Citizen's Brigade, as well as performed in a sketch comedy show called "A Sketch of New York!" Check out the picture of my UCB 201 class performing our graduation show at UCB East! 

In the last few weeks I have also begun rehearsals for "LQQK, The Way I Look"- a Glam Electro Pop Concert by José Rivera Jr. about lost love that fights its way back from darkness. LQQK celebrates queer thought, physicality, form and function through live visual art, sensorial athletic dance, and live vocal production. The full piece premieres in Spring/Summer 2016 with a work-in-progress showing in the end of June, and sections of the piece debuting in the Fall/Winter. I am so thrilled to be a dancer in this exciting project. A few weeks ago our dancers were hired to perform at the Becky Party at the Ace Hotel, which was such a trip! Here's a picture featuring Rebecca Marie Hidalgo, Vincent Donato, and myself. 

Check back soon for updates on the work-in-progress, and other exciting projects I have planned! 

Learning to Stand Opens this Week!

You live, you love, you break, you grow. "Learning to Stand," an original dance concert with The Artist's Sandbox, conceived and choreographed by Bekah Shade, opens this week at the South Oxford Street Art Space in Fort Greene! 

I began this process as an understudy and am excited to announce that I will now be a company dancer in several pieces during this concert! I am so grateful for the encouragement and support of our beautiful choreographer, Bekah Shade, and the talents of my surrounding cast members. I have learned so much during rehearsals and am thrilled to share our work with audiences. 

The concert runs March 10-13, check out our promo video below and then head to http://artistssandbox.org/tickets for tickets! 

The Artist's Sandbox- Learning to Stand

I'm so excited that I am now a company member with The Artist's Sandbox! The Artist's Sandbox is a performance arts company with theatre, dance, and new works branches. Their mission is to unite different types of performers and artists into one company, giving them the opportunity to create and grow together. 

My first role with The Artist's Sandbox is as an understudy in their first dance production: Learning to Stand- a piece about creating and discovering yourself, and learning how to be alone without being lonely. Rehearsals began last week and we open March 10!
