Bio for Karen Furball

Pysched to have been asked to do a gig so early in the New Year, and with so many of my dear East Coast friends! Karen asked us to write a bio and put no guidelines to it. So this is what I wrote. I have no idea who's going to see it, but I don't care. The aerial performance will be at SUNY Purchase.

Rose Mallare’s Bio:

Rose grew up in a first generation Philippine family and began taking music and dance lessons at age 5 in Canton, MI. She went to college, but the love of performance made her drop out several times. She’s traveled the world to perform, rock climb, scuba dive or just hang out. Favorite credits include THEATER: Off Broadway’s De La Guarda, Radio City Rockette, Peter Pan (Trinity Repertory), Miles Davis (Audelco Award nomination) and C.O.R.E. (France). FILM: Mars Attacks!, Fool’s Rush In, and In Cane for Life. TELEVISION: David Letterman, Countdown to the Neon Armadillo, VH1/Vogue Fashion Awards, and MTV (seen in several music videos, The Daily Burn, and as a VJ). She’s also been in a few fashion shows, print ads, commercials, radio shows and marketing campaigns. She’s satisfied most while laughing and creating with her adrenaline friends. As 2nd Species LLC, which is co-founded with Trey, Jeslyn, Coco, John and John, they have proudly produced and performed in several shows in the US and Italy (www.2ndSpecies.com). She currently calls home in a small beach Floridian villa, where her parents and Thisby now live. If she decides to go back into the world of 40 hours per week with benefits, it would be as a certified Mac Genius for Apple Computers since she’s already done that, enjoyed it, and regularly geeks out any ways. Rose thinks that life is short, follows her bliss, and loves to be in love.

This bio was actually read by the producing company that did the market launch for Windows Vista. Up until that first day of rehearsal, I thought I was being flown in for a college performance...but turns out it was one of those breakthrough high profile performances off the side of a building in NYC.
