SO MUCH EXCITEMENT!!

I am currently:

1. In rehearsals for OLE! which leaves for the Prague Fringe Festival on Friday! I cannot wait to see Prague for the first time and I cannot believe my work will be seen in another country, on another continent. Here's the link for tickets and info:

2. In rehearsals for MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG at the Strasberg Institute. This is the 4th musical I have choreographed here- it's always an awesome process. Here's the Facebook event! Get your tickets!

3. Mid callbacks for 2 incredible national tours, and I had my first callback for a national commercial! Keep your fingers crossed for me!

4. Mid shoot for my web series! The actors working on this are incredible and I am so lucky to have them as friends and colleagues.

Two new projects!

I am so excited to announce that I will be choreographing Merrily We Roll Along at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute! Rehearsals start next month!

I have also decided to create a webseries. I've been sitting on this idea for some time now, and am so excited that I have taken the plunge and will start shooting next week! SAG-AFTRA has been super helpful in making this dream a reality by helping me do what is necessary to include some of the most talented people I know (who are union members) in this dream project. We start shooting next week! Cross your fingers for me!

¡Olé! is going to PRAGUE!

I'm so excited that I can officially announce this! ¡Olé! has been accepted into the Prague International Fringe Festival! 
This is the first time my work will be seen out of the country- so thrilled! I was excited enough that I was choreographing my first national tour, and now it's an international tour! I may or may not be squealing.

Here is a picture of the whole team:

And here is an awesome show image from the fall tour:

"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."
