Acting + Dance

My current endeavors as a dancer include developing choreography for upcoming music videos for my band, Duzt's, visual & musical album.

 I have experience in independent and commercial film and theater acting, improv comedy and various forms of dance and have enjoyed collaboration with various  companies and individuals. I have studied dance at UWM Peck School of the Arts and Danceworks Milwaukee (ballet, modern, jazz, African, hip-hop), but believe my most authentic training comes from melding with the music. One of my favorite career moments was performing an original physical theater piece with The Quasimondo in The NYC International Fringe Festival in August 2015.

Since graduating UWM, I have enjoyed dancing, modeling, singing all over this great earth including Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, and many more...

I have also worked as a teaching artist in Dance, Yoga, and Visual Art in Thailand, Vietnam, and The U.S.A.

Modeling

These days my modeling is mostly done and going to continue to be done for my developing fashion and art brand, Bissa Zolta, as I have retired my previous brand Redish. 

However, in the past I have enjoyed a multitude of runway, print, fine-art, experiential and figure modeling.

I truly enjoy being the canvas on which to illustrate one's vision; and I've been privileged to  work with some fabulous true artists of the underground...(and above ground?) fashion world primarily in Milwaukee, WI, however in 2018 she walked the runway in Vietnam. 

In the past I wrote and photographed my "Milwaukee Street Style" Blog for one year during her 4-year working period with the Shepherd Express. From 2012-2014 I co-owned a vintage and handmade boutique called, Cocoon Room. 

Music

I am thankful to be currently creating and performing in the band Duzt which I formed in April 2016 with Trina D. Duzt is has some released music from our Schemes For Growth EP, and we are currently working on our releasing more tracks and videos. Our sound  bridges and blends many genres depending on the flavor of the story at hand. I am gleefully designing all  visual components for Duzt performances, choreography for music videos  and merchandise.
We have since added some new band members to our dynamic as well.  

Planting a seed of poetry and watching it grow into a full song that my bandmates embrace and amplify into loveliness is simply a magical feeling. 

For Duzt, myself and my spouse, Aytan are the primary songwriters. We also both play guitar and keys. We are joined by our loyal and infinitely talented Tommy Tucker, and Trina D. Dan Merrick drums on the album. And now we’ve added a few more musicians as well! 

I was involved in previous groups such as Slight Ghost (Singer / Songwriter / Guitar 2012-2014), & the UWM U-Choir (Singer/ Alto, 2009).

I enjoyed 6 months of weekly private study of voice & piano at Be Sound Music School in 2017-2018 with Julie Brandenburg. I experienced private and public music classes and lessons in voice, piano, clarinet and percussion in my elementary years and into adulthood.
