Dancer Gioel Enriquez on Tour With the Prestigious Diavolo Dance Theater!




Professional dancer Gioel Enriquez will be touring this year through 18 cities in the U.S with the internationally well known dance company, Diavolo Dance Theater!

The word "DIAVOLO" stands for: Dia, Greek for "through, across, from point to point" and Volo, Latin for "I fly". The name has other connotations: "Diablerie" (French) - playfulness, mischief; the clever, astounding, or comical pranks of a child, clown or rascal.

Gioel beat out hundreds of other dancers for the chance to join and tour with the prestigious Diavolo.

When Mr. Jaques Heim (creator and choreographer of KA - one of the most impressive shows of Cirque Di Soleil and founder/Artistic Director of Diavolo Dance Theater) saw Gioel in action he said,"I saw, in Gioel, the ability to inspire others. We are all excited to work with Gioel and feel that he will be a wonderful asset to our Company".

Diavolo is performing to sell-out crowds and will be at The Broad Stage Feb. 20th & 21st in Santa Monica, CA.

It was a total blast!" You can hear the song "Fly" here: Duff on MySpace

Persia White- Actress, Musician, Activist


Persia White is such an amazing person. Not only is she a very accomplished and well known actress, but she is a musician, and quite the environmental and animal activist.

Persia has accomplished so much. Below is an excerpt from her website http://www.persiawhite.com/:

After eight seasons as a series regular on the hit TV comedy GIRLFRIENDS on the CW network, Persia is branching out into the world of film and music. Persia is currently filming “Spoken Word” opposite Kuno Becker and directed by Victor Nunez.

As for music, Persia will release two albums this summer. One is a compilation of songs she wrote that have appeared on GIRLFRIENDS. Over half of these songs she collaborated with recording artist Tricky (of Massive Attack). The other album titled “Problem Child” with her band XEO3 (www.xeo3music.net). Persia has worked with great artists such as Gary Wallis of Pink Floyd, Dominique Miller of Sting, Jerome Dillon former member of Nine Inch Nails and Big Bio of Outkast. Persia has written soundtrack music for three Independent films, the season 5 and 6 finale songs for GIRLFRIENDS, as well as the season premiere for season 8.

Outside of Music and Television, Persia has starred in the made-for-TV movies “Operation Sandman”, opposite Ron Perlman and “Suddenly”, opposite Kirstie Alley. She has appeared in various Independent films including, “Red Letters”, opposite Peter Coyote, and the cult horror, “Blood Dolls”.

As a teenager, White’s extensive television experience includes a series regular role on the syndicated teen series Breaker High with costar Ryan Gosling. Her television guest starring roles include, Angel, NYPD Blue, Brooklyn South, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and many more.

Adding an important layer to this versatile performer, Persia is an animal welfare and environmental activist. Persia is an active Board member of The Humane Society Of The United States, as well as a Board member of The Sea Shepherds Conservation Society. Persia has been a trusted spokesperson on behalf of animal welfare for over ten years. In 2005 she was honored by PETA as Humanitarian of the year, and also recived an award for animal welfare work from Farm Sanctuary in 2006. Persia also managed to merge her activism into her television work on GIRLFRIENDS, by making her character a vegan and animal activist, leaving millions of fans globally aware of animal welfare issues. GIRLFRIENDS was the #1 TV show in African American homes for over 8 years as well as a leading show among women ages 14-42. Persia produced the award winning documentary “EARTHLINGS” narrated by Joaquin Phoenix.

Catherine Bell Gearing Up for 3rd Season of Army Wives!

After spending nine seasons as a Marine Corps lawyer on JAG, it looks like Catherine Bell has another long running hit military show on her hands! Her latest series on Lifetime, Army Wives, is gearing up for their 3rd season!

Army Wives focuses on four women and one man whose spouses are in the service, and all of them have issues or secrets—think Desperate Housewives on an Army base (it’s filmed on an actual, defunct military base in South Carolina).

Catherine is a beautiful and talented actress. I loved the character she played in Bruce Almighty, with Jim Carrey.

Movie and TV Roles Keep Coming For Actress Anoush NeVart!

Multi-talented actress Anoush NeVart has just booked and shot the new John Welles TV pilot with the working title of "LAPD". Her role as the Armenian mother, "Agata", was the perfect character for Anoush to play; she lived in Yerevan, Armenia for 5 years. She says that she really got to know the people, the customs, the traditions, dialect, trials and tribulations of this amazing culture into which she was born. The pilot should be airing in January of 2009!

Anoush has a series of other projects in the works. She will be seen in the Comcast National commercials that start airing in November 2008, as well as a remake of the feature film "FAME", with a release date in 2009/2010. Her first foreign film, "The Quest", directed by the amazing Max Bartoli, will be shot in Rome in 2009!

Anoush has spent most of her life as a musician and began acting 4 years ago. Since then, she has booked roles on such TV shows as The Unit, ER, NipTuck, The War at Home, Judging Amy, and General Hospital, as well as a notable role in the feature film "Must Love Dogs" as Mrs. Parseghian. She originated the role of "Azniv" in the 2006 World Premiere of "Little Armenia" at the Fountain Theatre in Los Angeles resulting in rave reviews for Anoush in the LA Times and Backstage West.

Now, saying Anoush is multi-talented is practically an understatement! She's an actress, professional pianist and accompanist, recording artist, vocal coach, song coach, backup singer, composer, and was even nominated for Grammy award!! Not to mention, she also speaks French, Greek, Italian, and Russian!

Anoush says her life has changed dramatically as a result of becoming a Scientologist. "I have greater certainty in who I am, the decisions I'm making, the rightness of my decisions, with greater love and compassion for my fellow travellers (ARC), much more effective communication skills, and a sense of confidence that is worth all the tea in China!" Anoush also says that it wasn't so long ago that her life felt like a constant struggle. Emotional ups and downs were the norm, and that nagging sense of "something's missing" permeated her daily life. She says it's only been a year, really, that all of this has changed, thanks to L. Ron Hubbard's technology (Scientology), and most importantly, the APPLICATION of LRH tech. "Knowledge is fairly useless if I don't apply it", she said in a recent interview. "It's like having a bank account with money in it but you don't know the account number so you have no access to the riches in the account."
