Bio
Perry Glasser
Angela is a brilliant technician and an affable person with thorough knowledge of computers. Better than a "manual-follower," Angela has the kind of profound knowledge of procsses that enables her to create work-arounds and write her own code, when needed. She writes well and credibly about technology and business issues surrounding the industry at her blog. Angela is surely a credit to any IT shop, and as an independent contractor, she is worth every dime. --Perry Glasser, former editor, CIO Magazine

Anime Boston is a three-day convention held annually in Boston, Massachusetts, USA under the supervision of the New England Anime Society. Our focus is to celebrate and promote Japanese animation, comics, and pop-culture. Over 350 staff members work to make this convention possible. On top of that, everyone is a volunteer; no one gets paid for what they do. We all participate because we are also fans (and might be a little crazy). We work year-round to prepare for each convention; in fact, planning for the next year begins before the previous one is even over! Our staff is incredibly diverse and comes from all walks of life and experiences. The hard work and dedication of our staff members ensures that we put on the best show possible. Show less

Lighting Designer
-
Jan 2012 - Jun 2014
Designed lighting for belly dance production needs, focusing on costume and dynamic live busking cues which match the movements and emotions of the talent on stage. From Animus creator Zehara Nachash, "ANIMUS: A SHAMANIC JOURNEY THROUGH DANCE is a deeply personal and spiritual show for me. Not only has ANIMUS become a creative vision of mine to elevate belly dance beyond the scope of public perception, but its also a drive to create a spiritual theatrical dance experience for audiences. ANIMUS combines different styles of dance, including African, Aboriginal, Middle Eastern, Lyrical and India with the Shamanic Journey. ANIMUS will bring audiences back to a Pangea-ic, neolithic time when animals and men walked side by side--and humans evolved spiritually by the experiences of the world around them." Show less
