Profile Information
- If you live in Tampa Bay, Why are you here?
- my parents moved here and every time i visited i thought - man, this place is nice!
- How long have you lived here?
- 6 years
- What neighborhood do you live in, why did you choose it and what do you like about it?
- I live in Seminole Heights and I chose it because I had a few friends who lived here and I loved the architecture in the area, esp. the mother-in-law suite I turned into my office space. I grew up in a small city, Washington DC, and I just love the way this part of Tampa feels. The cute houses, the tree covered streets, and all close to the urban core of Tampa.
- If you were to move to a different neighborhood, what would it be and why?
- I have no desire to move to another neighborhood. If I absolutely had to, I'd move to Riverside Heights, for many of the same reasons I'm in Seminole Heights.
- What is your favorite thing about Tampa?
- The people! I lived many places before moving here and I have found it to be the friendliest city of them all. Plus, I love being surrounded by the water.
- What kinds of things are you involved in?
- I try to go to the art shows and I love the Tampa Theatre. My business is a sponsor of the Tampa Bay Derby Darlins, which is always a very good time. Also, I've been trying to go to the beach every Saturday!
- Tell us about what you do.
- I am an Acupuncture Physician (FL AP1687) and have been since 2002. I own and run Living Harmony Healing Center in the Seminole Heights neigborhood of Tampa. I love what I do and got into it when I was originally in college planning to go to medical school. I had to work and put myself in the field I thought I wanted to go into by becoming a CNA, first in a nursing home and then in a home health agency. These experiences made me recosider my chosen path because there is so much emphasis on medication and surgery, so little on how people actually live. I have helped hundreds of people with all sorts of serious issues, which is immensely gratifying. Unless you need emergency medicine you should be looking at alternatives!
- If you live in Tampa, Why do you stay?
- I love it here and I'm financially bound :)
- Where else have you lived?
- I grew up in DC, then went to college in Boulder, CO, then did grad school in Los Angeles, CA. Tampa beats them all.
- What kinds of things are you interested in seeing on Brand Tampa?
- I just got here so I can't honestly say just yet.

OPEN AUDITIONS:
Ellen Mueller is seeking physical and improvisational performers of all types for two free collaborative workshops exploring the concepts of success and evaluation.
About the Workshops and Ellen Mueller:
These two free workshops will be led by Ellen Mueller at the University of South Florida Marshall Student Center, February 28 & March 1, Noon – 4:00pm, and April 4 & 5, Noon - 4:00pm. The approach for these workshops is based on techniques gleaned from yoga, the Brave New Institute – an improvisation training center in Minneapolis, MN, the Theatre of the Emerging American Moment – a theatre company dedicated to dissecting and celebrating the experience of living in America today, and Viewpoints – a technique for building ensembles and creating movement. Specifically, we will explore our collective response to the concepts of success and evaluation. Our goal is to gather and develop images, ideas, questions, situations, and characters through the practice of movement and improvisational exercises. Participants can expect to learn about the Eight Secrets of BNW Creativity, as well as an approach to collaborative creation. The material collected will be used as research for new performance works, and may lead to future collaborations with workshop participants.
Ellen Mueller was raised in Fargo, ND and currently lives and works in Tampa, FL. She received a BA in Theatre and Art, and a BS in Design Technology from Bemidji State University. She is currently pursuing her MFA in Studio Art with emphasis on performance at University of South Florida. For more information about recent projects, please visit EllenMueller.com
Audition Details:
Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 7pm – 9pm
University of South Florida
Fine Arts/FAH Room 280

Instructions:
Wear clothing appropriate for movement. Please bring a headshot, or a snapshot that clearly displays your face. No prepared material is necessary. The audition will consist of movement and improvisation exercises, and may be conducted individually or in groups as the schedule allows. If you have any special talents, musical skills, etc, please be prepared to share them. You will be asked to indicate which of the two workshop dates you are available for, or if you are available for both. To reserve an audition slot, please email Ellen at emmuelle@mail.usf.edu with your availability between 7-9pm on January 6, 2009. If you are interested in the project, but are unavailable on this audition date/time, please feel free to contact Ellen to make alternative arrangements.
