AND...

"The Island of No Tomorrows" (the production I choreographed last fall, produced by MultiStages, directed by Lorca Peress, and written by Fengar Gale) also won an award! We received an Honorable Mention Collaboration Award from the Women in Arts and Media Coalition!

Feeling very lucky and grateful! 

Amazing ¡Olé! Review!!

¡Olé! (The show I choreographed) got an amazing review at the Rochester Fringe Festival! Click the link below and scroll down!

"...Sofia Lund took to the stage early to perform a captivating flamenco set that showcased the grace and power of the dance and music. Just lovely."

"The story in “Ole!” is engaging enough, but what really makes this show special is the way it is presented. This is smart theater. I loved the way the flamenco elements, the bullfighting, the sword play, etc. reflecting both Spanish culture and art were woven into the piece. The segment where Dali explains how to create a Surrealist image via flamenco dancing -- genius."

"This touring show by Theater in Asylum had one of the most alluring premises of all the 2013 Fringe shows, and I’m happy to say it lived up to expectations."

Paper Bag Players performance

The show cycle at the Paper Bag Players went so well! It was lots of fun and played to a totally sold out house. I played 4 different characters but below is a picture of my favorite- the personification of your English homework!
