Happy MerMAY and work for Ismailova Theater of Dance

Performance art is something that has always been an interest of mine. I am happy when I can find a great team and project to pour my heart in. Ismailova Theater of Dance  mixes modern dance with a theatrical story line and acting to create a beautiful and moving concoction every time.

That being said, I am not an amazing dancer or even close to a decent one. I can only participate in the opening numbers for the main shows. They are organized by a community outreach group that is open for dancers of any levels.

When I was approached to create some posters for the shows, I was excited. Watching the dancers create art through movement always inspires me to draw, so this was a perfect way channel that inspiration.

In the upcoming years there will be more shows and perhaps more posters. Stay tuned and follow Ismailova Theatre of Dance on Facebook and Instagram!
