is very proud to have been invited by noted Los Angeles

Kerr to write a two page installment on the Hagen
Process and ActTrue's Imagery/Action Tech for the 11th
GOLD Edition of her best seller ACTING IS EVERYTHING.

ActTrue
goes Hip Hop
Kidz !!!!
“No
Drugs, No Violence, Just Dance"
ActTrue
coached, on-location, the
Two Time World Hip Hop Dance Champions on their new full length
video: HIP
HOP KIDZ: It's a Beautiful Thing. They have thrilled audiences
as the opening act for such superstar groups as Jessica Simpson,
Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees and Destiny's Child, and as featured
performers in the 79th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Individual members of the Hip Hop Kidz can also be seen in
music videos starring Ricky Martin, Lil' Romeo and Lenny Kravitz.
The Hip
Hop Kidz Foundation is a not-for-profit organization established
to promote a philosophy of "no drugs, no violence ... just
dance" at schools, institutions and events to reach children
and parents, and to provide motivation to build a young person's
self esteem, improve their health and build character through
dance and self improvement. The foundation provides underprivileged
children with scholarships to the unique Hip Hop Kidz dance
program.
What a
pleasure to work with such talented young performers and such
an experienced industry team: noted MTV video director Donn
Viola; HHK Ent.'s Jim Green and Mark Bacino who produced the
highly successful Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen movies and a
number of programs in their video series, and Hip Hop Kidz
Creative Director and the soul and heart behind this exciting
performance group, Suzy Stone.
The DVD,
available at retail October 3, 2006, debuts with two new "Hip
Hop Kidz" books from Penguin Young Readers books. The DVD
includes extras such as a new music video, a dance instruction
segment for kids to follow at home, and a behind-the-scenes
look at the Kidz as they rehearse for "It's a Beautiful Thing"
in an acting class taught by ActTrue.
ActTrue
is honored to share the Hagen process, the creative power
of Imagery and Action with young performers who are making
their positive mark on the entertainment industry.
