Working in the art/nightlife scene for six years, I have had the opportunity to meet a lot of really talented people from all areas of the industry. So when I saw that Marissa Alma Nick was back in town from LA working on a project called Peace Piece, I had to get in contact and find out what it was all about. The email I got back was full of energy and a request for me to get involved in the show in a scene called "Disco Town." Honored to be asked to be a part of the show, I accepted. I was told that RHYMES WITH ORANGEz created the dance opera "Take a walk in my shoes" that was a part of Peace Piece. The project supports world peace, naturally, but also strongly advocates the arts in our school system. Both are great causes, and that is why I wanted to bring the information to the masses, but I was still left a bit confused on the exact details of RHYMES WITH ORANGEz, Peace Piece and "Take a walk in my Shoes." So I had a sit-down with Marissa Alma Nick to get the DL.
