ASTRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A magical week of dance/sleep-deprivation/(and for some cast members) absinthe-induced delirium has at last concluded with a fabulous closing night and cast party. We danced our hearts out for ASTRA and the artistic satisfaction is high. We received marvelous reviews from people who attended the show, including a "Top Pick" rating by the LA Times! Yay us! I can hardly believe our first run has already closed! We have been working towards this for so long, and now I feel relieved and a little sad that is is over. However, we are constantly looking for appropriate new venues, and I am excited to begin work on the show again once we have our next booking, so am trying to take this time to re-focus, rest and re-connect with everyone since I have been pretty unavailable lately. (sorry about that...)
I am also using this time to really hone my dance technique, artistic expression, and some of my lesser-used skills ( like modeling and doing voiceover work on the side), and organize and establish a technical base for future work.
ALSO, I will be particpating in some local events: I will be singing with Alec Christopher Marken & Deep Stirrings at the Neighborhood Cup this Saturday. (www.myspace.com/deepstirrings He is still building the site, but there is a little video and some pics and audio clips already)
DETAILS: 4/11 Sat. 8pm-10:15pm The Neighborhood Cup - Aliso Viejo www.theneighborhoodcup.com

I will also be dancing at a book release party for local dancer and author DeAnna Cameron!! She has written a story about a Victorian woman who discovers bellydance.... can't wait to read it! DeAnna is a lovely person, and she is using this party to raise awareness and funds for the organization Women for Women, which offers assistance to women around the world.
These are some seriously amazing people I just love and respect to bits! PLEASE come support them!!
signing off for now,
Sarah
