Working hard for school fees
Tamicka Johnson is a 21-year-old student who recently finished her first year at Wyke College in Yorkshire, England studying Performance Art.
When she returned to Bermuda this summer, she had difficulty finding a job -- so she decided to raise tuition money herself by producing a variety show.
The show entitled "Gone in a Style: A Celebration of Performing Arts'' will be playing at Centennial Hall on tonight at 7.30 p.m.
And special guest artists -- including Wendell "Shine'' Hayward and Ronald Lightbourne -- are involved with the production in an effort to assist local up-and-coming artists.
Ms Johnson will be displaying her talents in dance choreography, poetry, singing, and dramatic monologue.
She also takes partial credit -- along with co-choreographer Tanaya Richardson -- for choreographing the dances for a group of younger students between the ages of 12 and 19 who will also be performing.
"I got my first exposure on stage when I was about 15-years-old, and I thought it was about time to bring some of the younger performers into the limelight as well,'' said Ms Johnson.
Tickets are $15 for adults, $8 for children under 12 and $30 for patrons.
Tickets can be purchased at Tuff Shoes and Twenty-Seventh Century Boutique.
