Feast or Famine, Currently a FEAST!

With the nice weather comes more opportunities.  People get active  and productive after their long hiatus from society during the winter.  I myself have crawled out of my bear den to find fun offerings in the arts. 
    I was asked to audition for a new movie called Japanese Azteroids.  After 2 monologues and several readings later I am being cast in one of two roles.  Either a nurturing motherly role or the role of a jaded chaos creator.  Monday I go in to read for the ladder.  That is scheduled to shoot in June or July.  Updates will be coming as time goes by.
   The next project is an exerpt from a film being done by an aspiring film maker at Temple University.  The 3 page scene chosen from the movie Shallow Grave is deep with subtext and dark comedy.  We shot this saturday from 8:30 pm to 4:30 am!!!! What a fun and exhausting night/morning it was! I can't wait to see the finished product.
    Lastly, I was asked to partake in an Historic Tour of the Skyukyll River this summer.  The concept of this project is so unique.  It takes place at different locations along the river where you meet historical characters and you travel to these locations via canoe at night.  Wow!  How exciting is that?! The moon and stars lit up in the sky and you get to experience this intimate little show.  I'm so honored to be a part of this project with Alie Vidich and her Company Movement Brigade. 
   I am trying to keep this momentum going and not get complacent any time soon! Keep your eyes, ears and hearts open!!!
