ABOUT THE HOLLYWOOD FRINGE FESTIVAL – The Hollywood Fringe Festival is an annual, open-access, community-derived event celebrating freedom of expression and collaboration in the performing arts community. Each June during the Hollywood Fringe, the arts infiltrate the Hollywood neighborhood: fully equipped theaters, parks, clubs, churches, restaurants and other unexpected places host hundreds of productions by local, national, and international arts companies and independent performers.
Participation in the Hollywood Fringe is completely open and uncensored. This free-for-all approach underlines the festival’s mission to be a platform for artists without the barrier of a curative body. By opening the gates to anyone with a vision, the festival is able to exhibit the most diverse and cutting-edge points-of-view the world has to offer. Additionally, by creating an environment where artists must self-produce their work, the Fringe motivates its participants to cultivate a spirit of entrepreneurialism in the arts.
ABOUT RALUDOM THEATER COMPANY – Raludom Theater Company was launched in 2016 by California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) alumni to create opportunity and artistic outlets for Los Angeles based actors, writers, directors, and producers. The mission of Raludom Theater Co. is to explore and produce innovative work: classical, contemporary, experimental, and original. Our passion is to tell stories that convey truth, liberate fear, and face the unknown. We survey diverse themes to examine ourselves as individuals and society in its entirety.
ABOUT STEPHANIE FEURY STUDIO THEATRE – One of Los Angeles’ premiere acting teachers, Stephanie Feury, has been at the helm of an actors revolution. Staying under the radar and out of the spotlight Stephanie has been helping actors find themselves, refine their craft, and start their careers for over 19 years. The daughter of two of the most acclaimed acting teachers in the 70’s and 80’s, Peggy Feury and William Traylor, Stephanie’s training began right out of the womb. Peggy and Bill created the Loft studio in Hollywood and began teaching method acting to some young and shining talents, Sean Penn, Nicholas Cage, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Johnny Depp, to name a few.
Stephanie’s passion for the stage and screen was apparent in these early days of studying and spending night and day working on her own craft. This passion stayed with her as she attended the prestigious NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. In New York, she was involved in a myriad of theatrical productions, independent films and commercials. She continued her studies with New York’s finest acting teachers, Uta Hagen and Elaine Aiken. Returning to Los Angeles she continued acting in TV shows, films and plays and as chance would have it her teaching career began.
Stephanie Feury’s class is unto itself a master class in a deep approach to scene study and character work. She incorporates Stanislavski’s philosophy that knowing oneself is essential to the actor’s development and growth. Having had parents who came out of the theatre and into the film and television world, she believes that one shouldn’t be limited to stage or film acting. The actor must be versatile , by exploring all aspects of self, there is no limitation to any certain medium. Unique to Stephanie’s teaching is a practice in deep relaxation, sense memory, and exploring unknown territories. This gives the artist a chance to dive into a true sense of self, helping develop emotional and physical life within scene work and auditions.
