new year.... NEW SHOWS!!!!

So many awesome things happening in the new year!! Several months ago I got a creative bug that I couldn't shake even if I wanted to. But trust me, I absolutely don't want to shake it. I've never felt this excited and scared in my life. I have so many ideas and I'm trying to find ways to get them out as quickly as possible, and at the same time wanting all the ideas to be beautifully polished too.

Ninth Spiral is my new production company. As much as I love being known as SuperKate, I feel this name is more professional. This is where much of my creative energy will be fueled through from here on out. I have at least 3 shows planned for this year alone. And that does not include productions that I'll be involved with as SuperKate. I'm surrounded by an incredible number of artists and I can't wait to tap into their passions.

My first production of the year is called "Sciamachy." It will be on Saturday, March 14. You can go to www.ninthspiral.com for more information and ticket sales. I've gathered a great group of artists for this show so far. And I have a few more to add to the list soon. This show is meant to showcase different artistic disciplines. I personally will not really be performing any bellydance. I have two pieces in the show and am extremely proud of both of them. One of them is the piece I performed at Shadowdance in Oakland. So now everyone in LA has the opportunity to see it.

On top of my regular jobs, currently I have 3 of them, I've joined up with Zoo District theatre company. I'm stage managing their production of Murray Mednick's "The Destruction of the 4th World." I've definitely missed the theatre world. It's exciting and inspiring sitting in rehearsals. Watching and listening to the actors and directors dissect the play, its words, and find meaning and purpose. This show will start previews on March 19 and open the following week. It's running in rep with another show for the following 3 weeks.

Not sure if you noticed, but I'm producing a show just days before the theatre production is running in front of audiences. Was this a crazy bit of scheduling?? Yes. Was it necessary for my sanity??.....Yes. I'm confident that I'll be able to handle everything, and this will be an incredibly busy few weeks. Did I mention that I will be in tech for the theatre production the day after my show? Woooohooooo!!!! Living in live theatre!! My soul is smiling.
