POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

In celebration of PRIDE I’m happy to announce the official release of @birdermovie (AppleTV+/Amazon) winner of the Feature Jury prize at Melbourne Queer Film Festival.
What an honor to act amongst this courageous cast, vulnerably expressing their energy in this unique thriller of consent gone awry. Thank you director @natedushku and writer @tummyami for your vision and care. (Fun fact: Nate and I grew up in the same corner of Boston, and reconnected on this movie for the first time since elementary school).
Deep gratitude for the intimacy coordination team @brookemhaney, @heck.support and @professorpace for fostering a safe environment to explore erotic and violent themes.
And big love to my on-screen family, and the whole cast and crew for leaning in to the fun and summer camp of it all!!

The New York Experiment
Season 1: Winter
Title : New York is a Queen

We asked for it.
We pronounced to the Universe,
As an artist, it’s our responsibility to take risks.
(Especially if we don’t have kids …that’s another story)
So I said yes to a job that brought us to New York, away from the comforts of home, knowing this is where growth comes. We worked mindfully to make sure everything would be in order while we were away.
We arrived the dead of winter.
Everything turned on its head: The job presented unexpected challenges on multiple levels, our sweet sublet became infested with roaches when our neighbor died across the hall, all while our sacred home in LA was slipping out of order. Everything felt out of reach and I was questioning what it was all for. There was little comfort to be found - except in each other. Even though Miles is from here, and I lived here a year in college, NY must have felt that our memberships expired and the Queen that she is, needed to initiate us. At first I tried to fight it, but ultimately surrendered to her flow. She’s a beast and will take you down.
I bow down to you New York, when I think I can’t get taller or generate more calluses, you see my potential and stretch my resilience.
We take you on, accept your challenges, daresay learn to fall in love with them.
The job may have just been the chariot. Spring has arrived, and we’re ready to bloom in her city.

Keeping heart,
Reshma

Ps. We moved sublets downtown to Greenwich Village. The 6 is still our train.

Sweating.

I see my father’s hands, my mom’s curls, my sister Farley and brother Breon chuckling at the pose, the shirt inherited from my siblings Gauri and Ashish, the jacket belonging to Renuka’s uncle - that Reshma deftly pulled from the rubble of the family home in India, on the week of Dhrumil and Himani’s wedding, and the beautiful composition and capture by my brother Nirav.
Solo, surrounded by family.

This cast.
This touring team.
What incredibly talented storytellers I was fortunate to share the stage with. Each day I watched, in awe of their precision, their humanity, their dedication and generosity. You are magic. Thank you for welcoming me into your sacred circle.

This show.
Aya Ogawa has created something spectacular in simplicity. The Nosebleed successfully examines failure, and the looming presence of absence. It reminds, we may begin again, with forgiveness.

This audience.
Thank you for joining us. For your witness, presence and participation in this ritual. Your support was palpable. LA, you made me proud, and oh so grateful.

What a gift theatre can be.

Thank you REDCAT for holding us.

Thank you Emily Wanserski for seeing the possibility.

Thank you @ihorrornews for the article!

“A new supernatural thriller, Hell Hath No Fury, is currently in the works. Miles Crawford (Babylon), Sharlene Rädlein (Spinning Out of Control), Brooke Butler (Ozark), Jamie Zevallos (The Skulleton), and Lorenzo Antonucci (Paradise City) have signed on to the Karbis Sarafyan and Andrew Pearce-produced thriller film.

Written by Dennis Wilder and directed by Rustam Vakilov, Hell Hath No Fury follows Aidan (Crawford), an agnostic psychiatrist who runs a residential facility while grieving the loss of his newborn child with his wife. When one of his patients is brutally murdered just as a beautiful new employee comes into his life, he tries to balance saving his marriage with preventing the facility from closing. As the story progresses, Aidan must confront his own lack of faith as he realizes that these frightening new circumstances are anything but natural.

Swipe to peel back the curtain on the creative process…
Big love and appreciation to Megan Lawson for her vision and invitation to play.

Creating movement is only one piece of the indispensable contribution of a choreographer… A few others: camera movement, framing, timing, tone, comedy, and in some cases a pre-vis that totally guides the shot list and final edit. — Ms Lawson is one such maestro of movement I’m very fortunate to work with and study.

…And of course the ever hilarious Donald and Zach

Repost from @meganguwre :

Sometimes the work is a superbowl spot guiding Zach and Donald in their musical moment!

Thank you @giantmiles for the invaluable support, friendship and assist♥️. Thank you Jerome Robbins for the timeless snap jump.

Swipe for draft 1: an extended and embellished previs :)

Would love to tell my clueless 16 year old self I’d be in a rose garden state of play with these 2 one day.

After 29 years, STOMP held its final performance at the Orpheum Theatre in NYC tonight.
What this show and that space held for me and fellow generations of performers who graced the boards in that dusty shoebox of a theatre, is hard to put into words… It’s a whole world.

The stuff of dreams, if you dream of factory alleyways and street theatre. Which apparently, we all did.
I saw the show in its first months. Following the performance, all I wanted was to return as soon as possible - to somehow be a part of that weird little world. It’s where I felt I’d belong.

The Orpheum itself is intimate and unforgiving. The audience sees and hears everything. There is almost no separation from the stage and the front row… spectators as exposed as performers. It’s vulnerable for everyone.

Backstage is cramped, stuffy, home to generations of grime, jokes, forgotten boots, and endless stories.

From that cave we were born to a new life. A new family.
One that influenced my perception, my appreciation, my world view.

To those that filled this box with music disguised as noise, thank you for including me in something so present and vital… we belong.
Love you STOMP.

May the next inhabitant feel a ringing in their ears.

1. Performing ‘bags’ with Lynn and Marcia, first month in the show.
2. First day on the job w/ fellow trainees - Cam, Ana-Sofia and Soda
3. Cringeworthy first bio in PLAYBILL
4. Pre-show rev with the cast and stage manager
5. Last day on the job, performing ‘matches’ with generations of STOMPERS
6. Just happy to be here
7. 25th anniversary show performing ‘bags’ with friends
8. So eager always. Family and the conductor.
9. Trash can ballet for a non-dancer
10. The airshaft, home to props, pigeons, and mid-show cigarette breaks.
