Eddie Kastrau was
raised in Hamilton , Ontario where he began acting classes
at Theatre Aquarius. Following a string of local musical
and theatre performances, Eddie graduated with Honours
from the Industrial Electrician program at Mohawk College
and began pursuing a career in robotics. It was while
working in Toronto that the theatre bug took strong hold
again and hasn't let go. Eddie has been a member of the
Danny Grossman Dance Company since 1986. He has criss-crossed
the continent several times performing in numerous featured
roles with the Grossman Company, and has been a creative
muse for many of the Company's original roles. Most recently,
he collaborated with Mr. Grossman in the creation and
performance of an educational étude commissioned
by the New York summer school for the arts. When not
with the Company, Eddie's dancing skills are sought by
many independent choreographers, including David Earle,
Nenagh Leigh, Menaka Thakkar, Rina Singha, Bill James,
Michelle Silagy and many others. Eddie's computer skills
are also in strong demand. He is currently the computer
administrator for Toronto Dance Theatre, Dancemakers
and Equity Showcase Theatre. |
