About my recent work in The Shelter Presents: Art:
Olivia Killingsworth exhibits pinball-like energy and vocal imagination in Michael Bernstein’s solo piece Robot Girl.

Spring has definitely sprung in New York! I got so excited about the warm weather that I went and bought my first pair of “skinny” jeans. Now I feel all thin and springy!
The Shelter Presents: Art
I’ll be appearing in Robot Girl, part of The Shelter Presents: Art, April 19-29 at the Flamboyán Theater on the Lower East Side; get your tickets now! It’s an evening of four original plays that asks: What is “art”? What does it mean to be an artist? If you can’t come, please consider making a donation to support fresh, innovative art — even $5 helps!
Uncle Doug Can Help
Speaking of artists: If you’re a creative person in a corporate environment, or if you’re just looking for a better way to deal with a difficult boss, I highly recommend dougsguides. It’s a site run by a friend of mine, “Uncle Doug” Kalish, and it’s a fun resource for dealing with common workplace problems.
Thanks,

Maybe the Mayans were right? Guess we’ll find out soon enough…
Greetings from sunny California, where Santa (wearing huaraches and board shorts) has come and gone, which means it’s time for new year’s resolutions! This year, I’ve decided to be more me: I’m going to let my authentic self shine through more in my career, craft, and personal life. That’s why I’m calling it “2012: The Olivia-en-ing!” (it’s even got its own theme song) – what’s your theme for 2012?
Fairy Tale Reviews
In case you missed it, I directed a play that was part of The Shelter‘s Fairy Tale, which got great reviews and was Critic’s Pick in Backstage. Here’s one of my favorite press quotes, from Theatre is Easy:
The Shelter is to be applauded for the work it’s doing — developing new theatre and building creative relationships at a time when small theatre companies are dropping like flies. Its approach to making theatre is both practical and optimistic.
The Actors Fund Channel
And if you’re looking for some inspiration or guidance to help you stick to those new year’s resolutions (!), check out The Actors Fund channel on YouTube – they’ve got a bunch of great videos, podcasts and interviews featuring lots of great info and cool people like Joel Grey, Al Pacino and Julia Murney: http://www.youtube.com/actorsfundorg
Here’s to a happy new year!

So I’m definitely feeling the holiday spirit coming on, like a nice hot cup of apple cider, warming me up from the inside… Can’t wait to get back to California and share these warm fuzzies with my friends and family. What are your plans for the holidays?
Fairy Tale
Life is feeling especially happily-ever-after right now, because my show opens this weekend! I directed Terror on Haxos 9, one of five original plays being performed as part of The Shelter‘s Fairy Tale at the 45th Street Theatre, tonight through December 11th. Fairy Tale features five classic fairy tales re-imagined in a grown-up world; for tickets & info, visit www.theshelternyc.org.

Are you ready for Thanksgiving? I’ve already got the Butterball Hot Line on speed dial…
My friend Erica McLaughlin has a great idea: why not create a shared office space for performing artists? I'm excited to help her make this happen! Go to www.indiegogo.com/workofyourart for info on how you can help.
