Description
The SURF grant has allowed me to create a musical called KILLER GREEN, which is based on the experiences of living with a chronic disease (Lyme’s Disease). I am holding 3 performances over the weekend of March 3rd and 4th. The cast includes 14 other student actors, singers, and dancers. For my SURF presentation at the April conference I will be presenting using a multi-media approach including: A1-2 minute promotional video that gives people a snap-shot of the performance and the script; 2) a discussion and explanation (by myself) accompanied by a slideshow of photos and work the cast did in rehearsal. I will also show examples of posters I created, the scores of music I composed and notated, as well as an example of the script and videos of the choreography.
