[Part of a series of posts introducing the cast of Living Canvas Rx, opening August 1 at the Den Theatre in Chicago]

Living Canvas made my dream of performing movement-based theatre a reality, in the nude no less. I’m passionate about the human form and using my own form express the deepest emotions through movement. Ask anyone who knows me well; I’m constantly advocating the acceptance and indulgence of every individual’s unique form. Playing the role of Orange in Rx provides me with a stage to showcase my often practiced–in the mirror, in my kitchen and any other solitary space—popping, locking, and waving that no one has ever seen me do. As a sophomore acting major at Columbia College Chicago not enough thanks can be given to the wonderful cast and crew that make Rx possible. When the audience [you all reading this] sits to watch our performance unfold they won’t focus on the lack of clothing, but the beautiful movement displayed as we expose our subject. I love you all, thank you.
