Genevieve Carson: Is she a unicorn, a rising star, or just my obsession?


Well, to tell the truth folks I think she’s all three!

The proof that Gen is indeed a unicorn lies in the photo above. I don’t think we need to investigate this any further.

A RISING Star. Yes.

Exhibit A. Her dance reel. It’s amazing. I watch it at least once a week. Now. Before it was like twice a day. We will touch on this later when we are discussing my “healthy” obsession. Gen is a fantastic dancer and has been sharing her talents and brute strength with LA Contemporary Dance Company since 2009. If you have not seen Miss Carson dance I suggest you watch her reel as well as come and see her dance live with LACDC at our free show at USC February 3rd. She’s one to see!

Check this OUT!

Exhibit B. ZINGDEED! A new short dance film created by The Pin-Down Girls artistic director Devin Fulton Gomez and Jamila Glass (both members of LACDC). Genevieve stars in this film as a kick butt ringleader of Palashakopians . The Synopsis: The Palashakopians are the native, estrogen-powered people of ZINGDEED, a mystical land of otherworldly deer-like super beings. Their world is dramatically altered when their leader sends the pack to a planet called Earth to rescue a lost soul. She is fierce, sexy, and a force to be reckoned with. She tears up the screen in antlers and combat boots. It’s Killer! Watch it!

Exhibit C. Her choreography. Not only can this perfect snow angel dance….OH no…she can choreograph too. She’s the full package folks! Her recent work “Nana” (danced by LACDC company members) was chosen to be performed at the Celebrate Dance concert this coming March. She has set work on LACDC before. It was not only performed at one of our fall concerts, but also on the rooftop of the Standard Hotel in downtown LA. Her latest choreographic adventure is taking her back to her hometown, Juno, Alaska. She is setting a drill team number on Thunder Mountain High School. Go GEN! Go Thunder Mountain!

Exhibit D. Poster Child. Oh I forgot to tell you…The show Celebrate Dance, that Genevieve’s piece “Nana” was selected for….yea… The poster for the whole show is a photo of LACDC’s dancer performing her piece. Gen is always the poster child. Here are some of her best.

“She’s got the look” –Prince

Genevieve is a true talent, a great story teller, and this lady is making film producers drop their pants all over town…Just ask boyfriend and producer Clark Baker. Any who, HOW COULD ONE NOT be obsessed with this gal? She gives you every reason to be obsessed with her and so have I. So…Check her out! Genevieve Carson everybody.

Look at this Girl next door.
