Her

generation Japanese.
They met in San Francisco
in the 70's both going to school for radiology.
I'm a Californian. |
| Little
Years |
At
5, started tap/jazz and ballet.
Spent her life in sequence, curlers and lots
of make-up. It
gave her brother lots of great outfits.
Dance continued until she was about 14. |
| Middle
Years |
She
stopped dance due to getting sick, and that's where
acting crept in.
Her mom thought it would break her out of her
quiet seriousness – she was wrong about that part.
She spent a summer in
San Francisco
studying at ACT's Young Conservatory and did ""Eddie
Mundo Edmundo", a world premiere. |
| College |
Spent
a year in
Chicago
at DePaul University, left and spent a year in LA hanging around
East/West Players filling various tech hats.
And then finished performance major at Fordham University
NY
where she played the title role in Titus Andronicus
and wore tight clothing with a cape. |
| Post-College |
Spent
a summer in Orvieto,
Italy with a bunch of actors.
We took a mysterious drive to Pontedera to
see Thomas Richards (protégé of Growtoski) and
"witness" a piece that is not meant to be
a performance piece – because it is not meant to
be seen by an audience. |
| Now |
Living
in various parts of Brooklyn
for 9 years. She love this city and wishes she could
just wrap her arms around it.
She's been with working with ACTIVE EYE –
working with people who she loves and respects and
who challenges and inspires her.
And doing roles that asks her to die, be
half-dead, or wear costumes that triple her size.
Yeah!! |
| And.. |
She
has dabbled in:
Aikido, Tai Chi, Yoga.
She's picked up a harmonica.
Spends her days going to her brother's blog
"dlisted".
If she had it her way she would pick-up and
travel at a moment's notice – given her mood for
the moment. |
