OCU Alumni Success in Film
& on Stage
|
1999 OCU
Dance Performance Alumna Heather Garrett has landed a part in
a film. She'll be in New York filming for a week at the Guggenheim.
It's an art film by a contemporary artist named Matthew Barney.
He's known for his performance art, sculptures, and a series of
films. He received a $50,000 award from the Guggenheim for his
work. His installations and films have been seen in Tokyo, London,
New York, and Los Angeles. He used Ursella Andress, the James
Bond girl from "Dr. No," in one of his films which is part of
the series Heather will be in. She's very excited about this opportunity!

 Jodi
Shilling has experienced a steady rash of success since graduating from
the School of American Dance & Arts Management, having performed in
nearly a dozen shows in New York and Chicago. She choreographed an Off-Off
Broadway production of Oscar Wilde's Salome in April, and starred
as Sarah Goldman in James Sherman's Jest a Second! in June/July
in Chicago. Currently, she is co-producing a new Off-Off Broadway show
in which she will also perform. Taking advantage of the OCU network
of performance and management talent in New York, Jodi, as a producer,
has hired Dance Management graduate Ashley Trimble to perform in the
new show. In addition to producing and on-stage performance, Jodi has
been successful with voice-overs and commercials and has a New York
agent to represent her in these areas.
