(Beauty Meets the Invisible Man)
West Coast Premiere at Write Act Repertory(Los Angeles)
A comedic musical playing to the changing times of the 1960s, featuring strong independent women as a predecessor to Mary Tyler (Moore) Richards and Rhoda Barrett (Valerie Harper). Meet our hero Sophia, a beautiful, articulate, sophisticated, bright, educated woman, whose blind spot is relationships. Her pattern is sequential frequent encounters with boyfriends, who depart after short term contact. Enlisting the help of her best friend Heather, Sophia tries therapy, with renowned expert Jake Kelly. Diagnosed with Beautiful Woman Syndrome, part of her rehabilitation is to recognize every-hit-man which has always led to a quick tryst. Sophia must learn about the forgotten majority of male society and try to focus on the invisible man, those who would never approach her, if she is to find true love. She develops the ability to handle her encounters with a non-descript forgettable man named George, who truly is the true man of her dreams.

So far, 16 contemporary dance companies have signed up to participate, including Barak Marshall’s dance company, Oni Dance, Kybele Dance Theater and Lula Washington Dance Theatre. Deborah Brockus, artistic director of Brockus Project, said she is awaiting word from several other groups.
“What I want to do with this festival is somewhat similar to the American Dance Festival in North Carolina,” said Brockus, speaking of the annual summer event that is an international leader for dance training of college students, and for presenting and commissioning contemporary work. For the Los Angeles Dance Festival, “the companies are all going to be doing open classes in the day, and then there are performances in the evening.”
The classes will take place in Brockus Project’s two studios at the Brewery Arts Complex on Moulton Avenue, and the performances will be at Diavolo’s studio space, also at the Brewery, which can seat as many as 150. If the Saturday performance sells out, a later second show would be added, Brockus said. She based her selection on "strong working companies that tour to different places."
The festival is geared not only for audiences but also for local dancers -- especially college students -- looking to become better acquainted with the area’s professional companies.
“What we’re really trying to do is invigorate the full community,” she said. “There are so many amazing [university] dance programs and they [the students] don’t know there are a component of companies that will hire them.”
