Joe Meduza
2009 Water Ballet Producer
From the moment I saw my first water ballet “Cleopatra Life On The Nile”, I knew I had to be a part of Fluid Movement. There is nothing I like more than the combination of water and performance. I have been performing, creating and expressing myself in and around Baltimore since 1991. Conspirator with the former Haus of Frau, former member of Charm City Kitty Club, fixture at the 14Karat Cabaret, and sometimes Milkmaid, whether in front of or behind the curtain, I Love putting on a show.
Amanda Richardson
2009 Water Ballet Producer
Mandy is a Producer in the 2009 Water Ballet. This is her third Fluid Movement show. She is especially fond of Fluid Movement and all activities that encourage adult playtime. When not producing and performing water ballets, she can be found tap dancing on 34th street, teaching middle school science, and wearing balloons on her head in local parades. She has a fondness for costumes and generally makes excuses to wear them around town. She likes pina coladas and getting lost in the rain.
Ted Alsedek
2009 Water Ballet Producer
A lover of sculling since he was knee high to a woodpecker, Ted Alsedek is pleased as punch and proud as he can be to be a part of Fluid Movement’s Water Ballet for a fifth year in a row! He is also Greggy Glitterati, the host of the Fluid Movement spawned evening of wonderment, Glitterama!
Jobi Zink
2009 Water Ballet Director
I saw “Water Shorts” in 1999 and said, “I have to be a part of this group”! Ten years, 4 roller skating shows, 4 water ballets, a square dance show and a tap dance later… I still feel the same way! This will be my second time as a scene director. Although I banned circles from my scene last year, I have a sneaking suspicion you will find a few in Liechtenstein .
Rick Wilson
2009 Water Ballet Director
Going into my fifth year with Fluid Movement, I will be directing again. It is so much fun to see your vision come to life before your eyes. There is no other organization like Fluid Movement that can combine such a creative group of every day people spending time together to make beautiful and magical things happen in Baltimore City, a place like no other in the country.
Shannon Twenter
2009 Water Ballet Director
At a young age, Shannon thought she invented the word aqua. Though disappointed to learn this wasn’t true, she now understands why this confusion occurred. Water is a permanent part of her vocabulary. She is excited to expand her water vocabulary from synchronized swimmer to director. Her appreciation for Fluid Movements began with her debut as LuLu in War and Fleas and expanded as she transformed into John Lennon for Mother Goosed. She looks forward to more pool time this summer.
Eric Voboril
2009 Water Ballet Director
This year’s production will be Eric’s 5th Fluid Movement show. Eric is a human swiss-army knife at a Baltimore historic site and museum by day. His mom was a synchronized swimmer in college, who never expected Eric to follow in her foot-steps. She’s just glad he’s finally using his theater degree for something.
Amber Eisenmann
2009 Water Ballet Director
Although I have been involved many Fluid Movement shows and serve on the board of directors, this is my first time directing. I’m excited to be a part of the artistic process and can’t wait to see it all come together. I am earnestly enthusiastic about icebreakers and group building games. For me, Fluid Movement is about having silly fun with fabulous people.
Lynda DelGenis
2009 Water Ballet Director
A three-production veteran and first-time director, Lynda is grateful to Fluid Movement for providing a healthy sublimation of early childhood trauma caused by the films of Ken Russell and Dario Argento.
Sarah Jennings
2009 Water Ballet Director
Sarah J is a girl your mother would love. She cooks and does arts and crafts, she’s good with kids and old people. What your mother doesn’t need to know, however is that she does adult puppet shows, does karaoke like a bandit, and is good at being the voice in your head that makes you do the things you want to do but know you shouldn’t.
Lauren Joost
2009 Water Ballet Director
I fell head-over-heels in love with Fluid Movement back in 2006 when I was an Iron Matron in the debut of Glitterama. Since that life and mind altering performance, I’ve been a Russian Dog in War and Fleas and a Jill in Mother Goosed. This year, I was honored to be offered the prestigious position of Co-Director of the Xmas in the Gulag scene and look forward to immersing myself in the many fabulous cultural signifiers that can only be properly expressed through water ballet.
