STEPHANIE CROTHERS Look out for Stephanie at GRAINS. Her one-woman show may be lurking around any corner! Stephanie Crothers is a native Los Angeleno, an actress, a dancer, and overall a woman of many artistic interests dabbling in writing, drawing, and music. Early on, she was deeply inspired by romantic movies about fantasy and adventure, her history lessons on the Salem witch trials, her father’s classic rock, her dance teacher’s jazz warm-ups set to Michael Jackson’s Thriller album, The Music Man, and Jim Carey’s unconventional physical comedy. Today her art reflects the painful, darker experiences later in her life through which she attempts to transform herself. Stephanie’s dance training began at the age of 5 and continued for 11 years at a dance company based in Manhattan Beach. There she won several national awards with her company tap ensemble.
At 19, Stephanie officially began studying acting at Cabrillo College in Santa Cruz, CA. To become more theatrically well rounded, she frequently volunteered as a director, stage manager, and lighting assistant at her college and at the local downtown theater. She was admitted to the University of Southern California’s School of Theater in 2007 and trained in the Bachelor of Arts acting program. She also participated in the student-run USC Dance Repertory Company as a choreographer and dancer. This year, Stephanie became a company member at The Open Fist Theater in Hollywood’s theater row. She also actively pursues an acting career in film and television. Above all, she strives to live her life and art each day by Rainer Maria Rilke, the late German poet’s words, “Let everything happen to you/ Beauty and terror/ Just keep going/ No feeling is final.”
ROY JOHNS The artistic world would change forever in 1950. Growing up in San José, Roy Johns beamed with creativity, passion, and determination, testing the waters in many different artistic outposts at a very young age. In his early adult years he moved to Santa Cruz where he worked as a detailed candle-maker and street performer. He spent time in San Francisco mastering juggling, and settled in LA studying theater and social dance. In 1975 Roy co-created 'The Mums' a fantastic juggling/variety group that would go on to win many awards and much notoriety. He continued to worked in Film & Television, had continual shows at the Magic Castle, and performed privately for Andy Warhol, Liz Taylor, and Michael Jackson…to name a few. In 1990 Roy created 'Girls on Stilts', a successful and stylish stilt-walking group adorned with intricate costumes designed by his lovely partner, Ingrid Ferrin. In 1992 Roy began creating huge power poles, finding them powerful and meditative to make. Roy spends his day developing his own style of contact and bounce juggling, plays tennis regularly, and generously teaches cirque skills to his students including Kasmira and Emma. We are extremely lucky to have Roy Johns perform some juggling and magic extraordinaire at GRAINS. Look out for his power poles hanging around the venue as well!
