I continue to co-chair the I.AM.PWD Campaign (Inclusion in the Arts & Media of People With Disabilities) with Robert David Hall of CSI. Please visit www.iampwd.org to learn about this dynamic 3-year PR campaign to transform performers with disability into performers with visibility.
Our Watchdog action group for the campaign has a Yahoo Group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/iampwdmediamonitor/where people can report what they've seen in the media, regarding disability, both positive & negative. We appreciate any and all input.
As a National Board Member of AFTRA, I attended the AFTRA Convention in Chicago in August and I LOVE that town!
News Flash! You can catch me on Law & Order: SVU on March 24, 2010 (NBC)! It's episode 17 entitled DISABLED. Check local listings for air time. This is my second Law & Order role in 6 months, which is a delightful surprise for me.But I'm only in the first few minutes, so set your TIVOs!
In May 2009 I performed with Infinity Dance Theatre at the Joyce Soho - see video above.
Fall of 2009, I TRAVELED!!! I was in Zagreb for the BIT Theatre Festival, performing in the brilliant John Belluso's play A NERVOUS SMILE and also got to visit daughter Holland Hamilton who was studying in Prague. (See Press Page for an article on the festival I wrote for the Equity Newsletter.) Then I worked on a panel to judge performing artists for VSA arts in DC, and worked for two weeks up in Boston with the wonderful Urban Improv troupe, teaching kids about disability via improv and my song What Do You Do? in both English and Spanish, something I'm super proud of. I also made a TV appearance on an episode of LAW & ORDER, for which I appeared in the closing credits!
2010 is finding me performing more right here in NYC:
In January, I'll be appearing in Rich Maxwell's latest project, ADS, at PS 122 with the NYC Players. It's quite a fascinating project which you can find out more about at: www.nycplayers.org
And in April/May I'll actually be starring in the World Premiere of Kate Moira Ryan's play BASS FOR PICASSO on Theatre Row (42nd Street) with Theatre Breaking Through Barriers. I get to play a one-legged lesbian food critic for the NY Times. I can't WAIT!!! More information can be found at: www.tbtb.org
On the family front, Holland just finished studying acting at the Prague Film School, and in January heads for Africa to study "Nation Building, Globalization & Decolonizing the Mind" at Augsburg University in Namibia , thus enriching her double major of Theatre and African American Studies at Oberlin College. Paul continues to be a guest artist at Columbia University directing program, where he got his first New York Times review last spring playing Mr. Peachum in Threepenny Opera at the Theatre of Riverside Church.
