intelligent mischief
*with a hint of spunk*
Hello and welcome!
I'm a Canadian New Yorker who lives in Los Angeles with my very sassy and sweet Bronx foster tabby cat. I've had a really fun and eclectic career, a few highlights: performing with PHISH at Madison Square Garden on NYE (twice!), the world premiere of Canada's first Wagner Ring Cycle, College Humor Originals out here in LA, dancing for the Queen HRH outside in the middle of November in Winnipeg (you read that correct!).
I love connecting with intuitive, playful and curiosity seeking artists - over the pandemic we remotely filmed a short inspired by 1940s avant-garde filmmaker Maya Deren, excited to send that to festivals this year! Struggle City, a comedic short form series is an official 2021 select at NJ Webfest & New Filmmakers NY.
I am currently completing the Film & TV Industry Essentials Certificate Course with NYU & Yellowbrick. I am delighted to be part of the nominating committee for the 28th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards®.
I am also a Usui Reiki Master (for animals and people) for what will be the first telehealth reiki and wellness site, Taking Time To Heal. I am brushing up on my French and learning Russian and Italian on Duolingo (yes, AT THE SAME TIME!) because I love a challenge. Language is a fascinating puzzle for me, tracing the commonality and connections between languages. I love exploring character through physicality , so Gaga movement, Laban, Feldenkrais, Psycho-Physical Action, you name it, I love diving in and exploring the edge of the envelope. If you'd like to collaborate (or want to know how to build a snow shelter, or igloo), please email me at karen.musey@gmail.com. Cheers!
