In the city suburbs of Brooklyn New York, a young girl lays in bed until awoken by an anxious fever dream.
The story follows the curious kid Aria, a young girl who struggles to understand her identity as she begins to contemplate issues such as climate change and social injustice. Born in a middle class POC family, she is sheltered from many current events which are then revealed to her in school and social media, through which her anxieties multiply when she can’t confide in her parents.
A Twisted fever dream Based on a mindful poem inviting children to experience the wonders of the natural world. Taking Time by Jo Loring-Fisher encourages us to listen to a bird's song on the breeze, to gather up the blossom dancing free. Taking time to imagine the deep sounds of the sea. Taking time to cherish our loved ones and the beauty of nature.
Aria is Played by the talented Skyla Ward. Skyla is represented by Kids X Ohlsson with State Model Management, and DDO Kids NY. She is also trained by acting coach/actress Tru Collins.
