Throughout the years, Reduxion
Theatre Company (formerly known as
Dreamstuff Productions) has hosted
fellow artists of varied disciplines to
perform alongside us.  The Artists'
Weekends,  centered around
performances of classic Greek
theater, gave opportunities to several
local artists in an unique event.

Ms. Safrankova has a lifelong acquaintance with dance.  She studied ballet as a child with
Susan and Buddy Trevino, and performed with their Ballet Company from the age of 8 to
22, with periodic breaks as she also explored acting, singing, and modern dance.  During
her final semester of school at the University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio,
Texas; she had the fortune to work with Halka Tresnakova, an actor from the Czech
republic, which led her to visit Prague in what she considers a successful effort at
self-education.  The piece she will perform tonight was developed partially during a
workshop in Prague (Letni Setkani, organized by Marie Kinsky) with Beatrice Libonati and
Jan Minarik.
