Clara Lofaro is an astounding performing artist. Her warmth and friendship is prevalent in all that she does. She effortlessly captivates and inspires everyone who graces her presence.
On April 6th and 7th, Enforced Arch is presenting their latest work, ‘ALLIANCE’ Art & Activism, which features past and current pieces by creative directors James Koroni and Tracey Katof. Clara Lofaro is a member of this project and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have her join us on this adventure! After rehearsal this past week we had an opportunity to ask her a few questions…
How do you as an individual live the 'ALLIANCE' of Art & Activism?
My quest has always been to liberate people and bring one closer to oneself through music. I do this by exposing myself in my songs and voice as honestly as possible; full of flaw and emotion. I also contribute to various organizations that are making a difference by helping people live more whole lives in one capacity or another.
What part of the rehearsal process or subject material did you find most inspiring?
Watching these talented artists come together to create the story behind my song, "Wrinkled $." It was breathtaking. I feel so honored to be involved in this performance and cause.
What did you learn from your experiences that you would like to share with others?
I learned that we all hold the ability to make a difference in our body and community. We are powerful instruments, especially when we join forces.

Alexandra Shieron is a gem. Her positive attitude, kind nature and professionalism are unwavering from the moment you meet her. Needless to say, her performance is full of charisma.

Katherine Roarty has such incredible strength and charisma. It's exhilarating to see someone with such poise on stage especially because there is nothing this young lady can not do!
Charles Alexis Desgagnes' artistry is beyond human. Every imaginable character or subject he is asked to experience through movement shines because his dauntless personality breaths life into every step.



As dancers, our bodies need to warm up before hitting the intense choreography in rehearsal. In class, we have the luxury of being led through a 15-45 minute warmup. Somehow when we are starting rehearsals, and no one is there to lead the warmup, dancers take a few static stretches and jump right into the choreography. Here is my recommendation for 3 easy steps to a pre-rehearsal warm up.


James Koroni: All my life I have had a strong desire to sing, dance and entertain everyone. All of which was an attempt to brighten someones day.
