Ms. Miró Cassetta joins the cast of Poof!! In Movement! Miró Cassetta was born and raised in New York City. She is currently a French and Italian major at the University of Texas and loves being an honorary Texan. Having danced all through high school in the Emma Willard Dance Company, Miró greatly misses expressing herself through dance, and is looking forward to reexploring the field with Lindsey Bailey and Janna Rock. Her other passions include art, photography, fashion, yoga, cooking, and listening to music.
Lindsey Bailey holds a degree in Studio Art from the University of Texas at Austin.
Lindsey pushes the traditional boundaries of sculpture, incorporating mixed media to create installation art. As a teacher of art classes for kids and adults, many of Lindsey's works are influenced by how children react to the world—with an unselfconscious, happy-go-lucky, safe and imaginative wonder.
Lindsey is a native Texan who moved back to Austin a few years ago. She has served on the board for the Visual Arts Alliance of Nashville, Tennessee and her work has been featured on Nashville Public Radio and HGTV. Lindsey currently teaches art at San Juan Diego Catholic High School. Her artwork can be viewed at www.cakecrush.com.
Poof!! In Movement came about as an opportunity to expand the definition of installation and creative vision through performance.
This unique performance will take place in a glass cage . . . Racquetball Court #1, Gregory Gymnasium 2101 Speedway Austin, TX 78712 . . . www.utrecsports.org
