Artistic Direction and Management
BDIC | Saturday, July 23, 2011 After graduating, I volunteered with ACT NOW! a non-profit organization in Amherst that focuses on empowering youth and building self-confidence inyoung girls through creative movie-making.
After ACT NOW!, I had my first post-college interview and was immediately hired into that position as Assistant Event Coordinator at Chamber Theatrem Productions. I was working for a Broadway producer booking national tours. It was alright and I learned a lot, but I realized that my heart didn't lie on the administrative side of theatre, it lies on the creative/production side.
That job ended on a Friday, and by the following Monday, my dream jobs came through: I am currently a working Director/Choreographer in Boston, which is precisely what my degree from BDIC set me up to do. I am directing Arthur Miller's "All My Sons" at Bentley University, and choreographing a production of "Singin' in the Rain" at the Arsenal Center for the Arts. I am still pursuing photography on the side.
I think it shows that if you follow your heart, it can only lead you in positive directions. I consider myself incredibly lucky to be doing exactly what I want to be doing in this economy (or in any economy for that matter). I believe it was a combination of the skill set BDIC gave me and my own personal drive that allows me to say how unbelievably happy and fortunate I am these days.
