EMAV 10 Bites: Samantha Ciarlo, Musician

In every neighborhood, there is someone who makes the Arts a part of their life, and our community. You'd be surprised to discover how many different people use the arts to improve the quality of life in or hometown. EAT MORE ART! VEGAS will feature them regularly in our series "10 Bites."

What performing art do you do?

I am a musician in the theater production of BAZ: A Musical Mash-Up at the Palazzo.

Why do you do it?

Whether it's BAZ or any other project or show, I always aim to build a connection with my colleagues and audience; communication through music is a direct pathway to spark something in someone, from sadness to anger to happiness to nostalgia and everything in between, and it's the best way I know how to. What’s your favorite production/performance so far?

BAZ has been my best experience! I had no involvement when the show was in LA, but I was in the production at Mandalay Bay's LIGHT Nightclub in 2015! It ran for a hot minute, and it's so interesting seeing the differences here at Palazzo. Besides keeping me on my violining toes, this show specifically allows me to develop other skills - I've been "acting" and have blocking and am running around being this beautiful and sort of tragic metaphor the entire show. Being a character has introduced a whole new set of challenges that I wouldn't be able to acquire anywhere else, and the involvement has also allowed me to step outside any usual social circles - I've never gotten to be around actors/singers/dancers in close quarters before and I have loved getting to know these other kinds of performers. Overall I have been learning more than ever by getting to be in BAZ.

What jobs have you done other than being an artist?

I haven't done any other work in technicality, but I've done odd jobs here and there like anyone else. I applied to the Mob Museum and I think I would still like to work there part-time. I would love to work at some kind of museum or art gallery.

What memorable responses have you had to your work?

I mean, I genuinely appreciate if anyone takes the time and energy to say hello or chat after a performance. I love talking to new people, and often find myself starstruck because they usually end up being incredible humans themselves.

What would you be doing if you weren't in your current field?

I like to think I would have become a physicist or linguist.

Name something you love about Las Vegas, and why.

I love, love, love the food and beverage industry. I am a big foodie/drinkie so I love adventuring around town... it's really boomed, and I believe we now have one of the larger Bartenders' Guilds. It's kind of like my Disneyland though, so I don't think I would ever want to work in the industry haha.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve been given?

Show up on time (so earlier) with a smile. Work hard, be humble & kind. BE PATIENT. (that's the hardest one lol)

What superpower would you have and why?

Is there a superpower to be able to speak every language and dialect? Besides music and art, I think language is another key to human connection, culture, and trying to understand the world a little better.

Any future projects?

I am in a group called Vertex3, and I would like to do more work with them in the future! It's a trio with another violinist and a drummer. We play EDM music, which is a bit out of the comfort zone, but all the more reason to be a part of it! Aaron Ramsey (the drummer/composer) is so talented and works so hard on his charts and sounds. We hope to get a steady gig in town soon enough.

Are you a local artist of any discipline? Do you work with a company as a designer, stagehand or administrative staff? We'd love to get your 10 Bites to share. Fill out a form here, and you might be featured in a post!

EMAV encourages you to send help from our heARTS to TX.

Dear Friends,

Hurricane Harvey has brought devastation to our fellow Americans, and other residents and visitors, in Texas, and artists in our community want to offer relief. We have personally consulted locals affected in the area, and researched the best organizations who turn your donations into immediate action. Our recommendation is the secular, non-partisan NGO, DIRECT RELIEF.

Click on the donate link, and select "Direct my donation to." Then choose "Hurricane Harvey" in the drop down box.

Direct Relief has a 100% accountability score, and has received 7 consecutive 4 Star ratings from the watchdog Charity Navigator. DIRECT RELIEF is already mobilized, and in the area. 99.4% of their donations go directly into the programs and services that they deliver.

As artists we know that money can be tight, but we can also promise that people would be amazed to know what can be made of even the smallest amount. We do it every day in our own line of work.

No act of mercy is ever too small to feel like a life saver to someone who is hurting. If you attend a local production and want to make a donation of pocket change, ask them to hold it for EatMoreArtVegas.com, and when they contact us, we will send it along to this charity ASAP.

If you want to let Texans know your donation came from our heARTS here in Las Vegas, you can donate in the name EAT MORE ART VEGAS, or honor the memory of another by first clicking "Donate in Tribute" in the upper right hand corner of the donation page, or by clicking here.

Our address for the form is 8540 Amaryllis Hills Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89149.

We all know what a shock flash flood damage can be, but we rarely suffer rains that last for several days without stopping. Let's give all the love that our heARTS can muster, and join together doing something positive as one community for our one country. Thank you for your healing hope!

In gratitude,

& The EAT MORE ART! VEGAS Team

P.S. - Stay tuned for future efforts to offer the necessary ongoing support from our Las Vegas community. We will keep an eye on more ways to help as the situation evolves.
