I haven't updated in a while, but I have two upcoming dance performances:

A Night of Traditional Dance Saturday June 19 3-5:30pm at Lotus Music and Dance $20
Samarpan 2010 Friday June 25 At The Philip Coltoff Center $20

I've also learned that I will be in the Fringe Festival this year! Stay tuned for updates.
 
 
I am performing in Strangers and Other Angels with Compagni de Colombari.

Rehearsals have made me super excited for this event! It is going to be really cool- step dancing, ukulele and original choral music are just a few of the cool things happening.

The info:
Saturday, December 5th at 4pm located at 116th and Adam Clayton Powell

After volunteering as a fourth grade/ aerobics/ dance/ choir/ puppetry/ you-name-the-artistic-activity teacher for four months at Shanti Bhavan, Amanda is currently doing a one month yoga and Odissi dance intensive in Bhubaneswar, Orissa (India). She will be back in NYC in one short month. Pictures of her trip thus far are available for viewing at http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2039353&id=36000020&l=9d2f1966b8

India. Caberet. 11/25/2008
 

Two new exciting developments:

1) I'll be performing caberet on 12/4 with Those Girls Productions. Click here for more information.

2) I'm going to INDIA!!!! That's right. I'm going to India to teach musical theatre and English at Shanti Bhavan, a school for children of the lowest caste, through Artists Striving to End Poverty.

I feel so excited and blessed!

 
 

Many exciting new things are happening in my little corner of the theatre world, but for now all I want to report is a couple new images from Puppetonia are available for viewing. Check them out below.

 
 

It looks like I'm going to be producing a series of musicals and new plays for children in Hoboken! More when the details present themselves.

I'm still performing Puppetonia several times a week. I'll be gone for a two week vacation at the beginning of August, but will be back and going strong starting mid-August.

 
 

I've been performing in Puppetonia 6-10 shows a week. I love it!

I'm leaving for vacation on the 31st and will return mid-August, when I will resume performances of Puppetonia.
