by Andrea Trimmer via NEohioPAL 05 Dec '16

05 Dec '16

Andrea Trimmer recently moved to the Bainbridge area! I am looking to teach a few tap classes, 1 evening a week at a nearby studio (Bainbridge/Aurora/Twinsburg/Chagrin Falls/Russell/Auburn/Mantua/Streetsboro.) I can teach any level, rec or comp, technique or cleaning choreo. Bio below. Andrea Trimmer is a professional tap dancer in the Cleveland area. Andrea has been tap dancing for over 25 years, and she works to further her knowledge by regularly attending festivals, intensives, master classes, and private instruction with tap masters, including Heather Cornell and Brenda Bufalino. Before moving to Cleveland, Andrea pursued her passion for tap dance as a member, choreographer, and rehearsal coordinator of the Detroit Tap Repertory. She has performed at The Detroit International Jazz Festival and at numerous tap festivals around the country. Andrea is Co-Founder/Director of The Midwest Open Rhythm Exchange, working to bring MORE tap to the Midwest. She has been teaching tap dance since leaving her Engineering job in 2013, and currently teaches at The Fairmount Center for the Arts. Andrea is particularly skilled at, and interested in, learning, preserving, and passing down historical tap dances such as The Shim Sham and The Eddie Brown Chorus. Additionally, Andrea's love of tap has strong ties to music and she defines herself as a percussion artist as well as a dancer. She was previously the tap dance percussion in the Ann Arbor folk rock band DSM, and she enjoys sitting in on local jam nights wherever and whenever she can. Andrea lives with her husband, Scott, and their daughter, River. She also pursues her interest in informal STEM education and “making” as an employee of The Great Lakes Science Center. Andrea strives to share her love for tap dancing via teaching, choreographing, producing, and by building a thriving tap community here in Cleveland.

The Kulas Foundation Theatre Composer Initiative is a six month fellowship program providing early-career composers with first-hand experience creating music and sound design for theatre. This initiative engages composer/designers in a collaborative process under the guidance of the show producer and director to compose and produce original music for full productions and works-in-development in CPT's Season and to learn about other parts of the creative and production process of theatre. Composers gain hands-on learning experiences through sound design opportunities. The program is intended to significantly grow CPT's capacity for developing original music and sound design, and to support the growth and emergence of local artists. In order to ensure the development of work past this residency, both the composer and Cleveland Public Theatre will own full rights to composed materials developed through the Theatre Composer Initiative. Program Expectations: The Composer and CPT will work together to develop an intense and fruitful fellowship. The following represents the primary pieces of the fellowship, but the plan will be adapted to the specific fellow chosen. * Compose and produce original music and sound design for one full stage production or work-in-development.

In addition to providing the experiences in this program CPT will also provide the following: * $1,500 Fellowship upon completion of program * Possible additional underwriting for musicians, specialized sound equipment for implementation of design, or recording to be approved by CPT Executive Artistic Director * Free Tickets for Composer and Guest to all CPT shows during the 16/17 season Eligibility * Applicant must be a resident of Northeast Ohio. * This program is not for current students. * Applicant must have a college degree or equivalent in music or theatre. * Applicant must have significant available time to work on major artistic projects.
