Tanja Liedtke

I attended a stellar performance of Tanja Liedtke's Construct last night at the NAC Studio. The choreography elicited a deep emotional response from the audience: I found myself laughing and crying and completely captivated by the dancers' ethereal movements. I especially appreciated the physical echoes in the choreography and playful ironic metaphors about building relationships, families and homes. The set and music gave an immediacty and tangibility to the production, as well.

Construct continues until tomorrow night at the NAC studio. Seating is General Admission, so arrive early to find a seat!

CURTAIN: Read it Twice, it's Real

The play I starred in, Read it Twice, it's Real, opened and wrapped this past weekend. It was produced by Sock N Buskin' Theatre Co.

Our Saturday show went exceedingly well: there was great energy on stage, lines were spot on and having already done a show the night before in the Pit, we had a better idea of the acoustics and how much more we needed to project. There was even real tea in the teapot!

Congrats to the cast and crew! Extra special thanks to everyone who attended and showed their support.

The audience response was so good that I have faith this will not be the only production of Jim Davies' avant garde script. Looking forward to future productions!
