I Go Perform- Outstanding!

Welcome to my web page. Having been a performer since age 10, I look forward to sharing with you a site that you will return to again and again. I hope to share information about performance, it's rewards, perils, problems and opportunities. There will be products for all of us who find ourselves in front of an audience at one time or other during our lives. My area of expertise is voice and Musical Theater, Opera, singing and song. I have experience in choral groups as well extensive solo work. I have sung karaoke, cabaret and dinner theater. I have dealt with stage fright, loss of voice, forgotten lyrics, wrong verse at the wrong time with an orchestra, lost my "drawers" in the middle of a dramatic aria, my hair do has come undone, and I caught my skirt as the Velcro gave way while leaving the stage. I have jammed my hand into a metal grate, but as they say, bleeding and in pain, the show must go on. I have served as stage director for several main stage productions of Broadway Musicals for a community theater group, and have also staged productions at high school and elementary schools. I am passionate about opera singing and have sung in over 20 years worth of scenes from operas. I have sung over 18 leading roles in musicals, and several in opera. Musical theater choruses have offered the most fun, and the least amount of stress. Opera chorus has offered an opportunity to sing some of the world's greatest melodies. My favorite is the "Nessun Dorma" from Puccini's Turandot.
I want you to know that one of the best kept secrets in the performing world is a music festival in Fairbanks Alaska...known as the Fairbanks Summer Arts Festival...at this festival you can sing in a gospel Choir, Classical Choral group and/or small a cappella ensemble,. You can play and study with instrumentalists from all over the world. You can ice skate and train with nationally renown teachers; dance and perform in ballet, jazz, modern, ballroom and world dance. At this festival you can learn to tell stories, become an expert on Shakespeare, or participate in an opera workshop that puts on an amazing costumed concert the final week. If jazz is your thing, there are wonderful jazz clinicians, and ensembles to perform with. If you sing cabaret, you'll love the classes and performance events. So check it out at www.fsaf.org . If you want to learn more about performance , or gain performance skills this is a great place to do so. Every weekday for the two weeks of the festival you can hear amazing performances by the guest artists for free while you eat your lunch. Did I mention the harp, guitar and harmonica clinicians as well. This is truly a unique place to experience two weeks of performance immersion. One does not think of painting, drawing, mask making or fabric art as being something to be performed, but at this festival art has become a performance art.
So I hope you like my sight, and enjoy visiting. Please drop me a line. Let me know if I can help you in any way. Break a Leg! Keep treading those boards! Toi Toi Toi! Later, Jane
