"Meena's Dream" a new solo work-in-progress December 3 & 4

[Anu]

Hello!

Come to DC area's Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center 2pm Sat & Sun
Dec 3 & 4. My new solo play will be featured as part of a series of
short solo works.....

It's a short work I'm developing for a new full-length solo show next
year. You will get to see it in process, and I would love feedback as
I continue to expand the piece. I've been deep in the throes of
graduate school, concentrating on voice and movement work. It's been
making a positive difference, but creation of new work has been put on
hold for a little while... until now!

see below for details!

About us:
In September 2011, six artists at the University of Maryland, led by
Artist-in-Residence Walter Dallas, set out to write, direct and
perform in solo shows of their own creation. Come December 3 and 4th
to witness their raw, pulsing works-in-progress. Watch Meena fight
the worry machine, Meira save the sun, Eugene O’Neill navigate
purgatory, Anka Dorff struggling to save her sanity, a forgotten
flying sculptress and Einstein alive in glittering gold. Share an
evening of heart, humor and revelation. We will see you there!

About the solos:

Meena’s Dream by Anu Yadav
Will 8 year-old Meena answer Lord Krishna's plea to battle the Worry
Machine? A fantastical tale of a girl who may just save the world.

Sepia Sculptress by Caroline Clay
Unsung 19th Century African American sculptor, Edmonia Lewis, now a
bird in the afterlife, fights to keep her wings and her legacy.

The Light Project by Claudia Rosales
Meira, a young light catcher, journeys into the darkness of a lost
world, determined to recapture history, hope and home.

The Life and Lies of Anka Dorff by Nicholas Horan
Sex, love and betrayal come alive as the divinely Decadent Anka Dorff,
a transvestite in Weimar Germany, pleads to be remembered not for her
depravity but for her humanity.

Ah, Eugene O'Neill! The Birth, Death and Impractical Rebirth of
American Theatre
by Rob Jansen
Haunted by the past, playwright Eugene O'Neill seeks redemption and
his way home in this existential fantasy.

Glittering Einstein by Teresa Bayer
Einstein shouldn't sparkle. But this one does, and now two very
different people's lives are forever transformed by this magical bust
of The Golden, Glittering Einstein.
