First, I would like to introduce the lovely Yuuka! At only 19, she is the youngest cast member, but she's accomplished a lot by coming all the way from Japan to study dance full time in NYC. I couldn't be happier to have this bright, energetic star as a part of IFM.
Next is Ashlie... where do I begin? Ashlie is an internationally educated performer and professional in the fashion industry. From teaching hip-hop to designing clothing to reality tv and working for the world's top designers, there's nothign she can't do. But above all of these, Ashlie has amazing presence and personality. I know her energy will help bring the diverse cast of dancers together. "I Fucked Mariah" is Ashlie's second robopsicle.
When Anne told me she wanted me to meet Hiroko, I couldn't believe it was the very same women whose freestyle I was checking out in Robin Dunn's hip-hop class the night before and thinking that I wish she was in my show... This Japanese native is here studying dance and brings great energy and style to the show!
Finally, our newest adition to the cast of "I Fucked Mariah" is Gilie. I met the West African performer in my hip-hop class over a year ago, but never forgot her ability to pick up movement with great passion and intensity. I can't wait for her to meet everyone at this Sunday's rehearsal. Along with Sofi, she is the casts second French speaker. Giving rehearsals three dominant languages: English, French and Japanese!
