book

music
and lyrics by Peter Foley
based
on ŅThe MastersÓ by Ursula K. Le Guin
directed
by Kate Chisholm
Science and
religion collide in this sophisticated and mythic new musical. At the center of
the conflict is Ganil, a young woman whose passionate longing for knowledge
leads her on a dangerous journey in pursuit of lost and forbidden truths.
With an eclectic score featuring lush choral singing, this compelling tale of
spiritual awakening illuminates the complex dialogue between faith and reason.

Black
Swan
Directed
by Darren Aronofsky
Slated for release later in 2010
A psychological thriller that takes
place inside a ballet company, Black Swan stars Mila Kunis and Natalie
Portman. In this film, I got paid
more per hour to pretend to be a cellist than I often do for actually being
one. Enjoy!
