 Dark humor and raw narrative. One woman’s story of survival told through modern dance, en pointe ballet and a live string duo.
This June, ALIVE-ISH, premiers at the Hollywood Fringe Festival. Alive-ish tracks the chaos and challenges of a young woman’s journey, played by Anabella Funk, to the threshold of adulthood and the critical choice she faces there. Developed in association with the Female Playwrights Initiative. Proceeds will benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
