About The Work

💫

Congratulations to ATW student Vivia on her one-woman show, BELLYFUL, coming to Hollywood Fringe!

“The belly holds more than food.”

Written and performed by Vivia, BELLYFUL follows a young Black girl from South Chicago as she journeys through trauma, abuse, and bullying, uncovering how seen and unseen forces shape her body while keeping score.

We’re so excited to celebrate Vivia and the powerful work she’s bringing to the stage!👏👏👏

The most compelling self tapes usually come from actors who stop trying to fit an idea of the “perfect performance” and allow their own instincts, energy, and humanity to fully live inside the character.

Your individuality is your greatest asset.

What helps you feel most connected to your instincts in self tapes?

Some of the most powerful moments are unspoken. Between the lines is where listening, energy, and intention do the work for you. When you stay connected to your partner, the scene never goes flat.

Actors, what helps you stay connected between the lines?

All you have to do on any given day is just get up and do your best, and try to find joy in your day, and try to contribute in a meaningful and positive way.

- Jeremy Hansen
