The Downward View The Downward View is a new workshop facilitated by Melita Ann Sagar & Michelle Petro. But if one is not a reader then one will not be lost or left behind.

The Downward View is a mix of Viewpoints, Yoga, and Fitzmaurice voice work, with a dash of joy, a lot of love, and no ego. Artists are expected to bring an open mind, comfy clothes, a yoga mat or large towel, a notebook/journal, a writing utensil, an open heart, water, a snack, passion, creativity, and a willingness to be silly, sweat, connect with others, pause, release, perform, and sparkle (artists can wear sequins, but by sparkle we mean from the inside). Artists are recommended to read "The Viewpoints Book" by Anne Bogart & Tina Landau. An artist interested in experiencing this workshop might ask themselves, "Why are Melita and Michelle so keen on leading this workshop?" The artist would be advised to check out Melita and Michelle's bios! Any additional questions can be sent to: thedownwardview@gmail.com

Michelle & I had the extreme pleasure of meeting, working, & performing with the folks at Off the Cuff Comedy Improvisation while touring with A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams this past August/September. Wendy & TJ Penrod are kind, generous, amazingly wonderful human beings (they're also VERY FUNNY!!!). In addition to running Off the Cuff they both work with troubled youth AND they support & donate to the local women's shelter through Off the Cuff...in short, they are doing great things in the small community of Cedar City, UT. So if you have 10 minutes please take the time to check out their Kickstarter & donate to the cause! (Having performed on the stage we can vouch for the fact that it does, indeed, need a little love...). Thank you & have joy!!!

Hey Sacramento The Downward View friends! Did you know that Melita & Michelle are performing tonight & tomorrow night with The Naked Navigation Theater Collective's production of " A Streetcar Named Desire" https://www.facebook.com/streetcar2013?fref=ts ? This touring company has performed in 3 states & is partnering with local women's shelters to raise awareness about violence against women. 10% of the proceeds from tickets sales are being donated to local organizations of every community being performed in. The performances are tonight & tomorrow night at California Stage R25 at 8pm. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at the door or at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/455541

Come support the arts & a good cause!

Disturbing and violent, sexy and intelligent, Streetcar is an American classic and a theatrical masterpiece. Each of the play’s gloriously tragic heroes are haunted by deep pains of the past and each driven by the heat of brutal desire.
