| Additional Experience |
| |
In addition to my drama background, I have sung professionally,
played the piano and organ since I was 8, play the recorders, played
violin, saxophone, and tuba, studied dance with Kathryn Johnson, Carla
Watrud, Dick Pond, Dana Elliott, Monica Bryant, and Jo Noth, and worked
with several modelling agencies including TV work with Beverly
Breckenridge. I have been a member of several orchestras and bands
playing violin and percussion -- and worked as drum major including
the Drum and Bugle Corps of the Navy. I have modelled and worked as
a puppeteer (both body puppets and hand & marionette puppets)
and school mascot (including building them). |
