Wien, im Oktober 2015 Seite 3 von 15 presseinformation HOLIDAY ON ICE PASSION 13. bis 24. Jänner 2016 in der Wiener Stadthalle ZOË ist Stargast bei Holiday on Ice Passion ZOË ist Sängerin und Songwriterin aus Wien. Die 18jährige startete gleich nach Abschluss ihrer Matura ihre Schauspiel- und Musikkarriere. Zu sehen war sie in der ersten Staffel der ORF- Produktion Vorstadtweiber als Laura. In den ORF TV-Shows „Wer singt für Österreich“ zur Auswahl des österreichischen Kandidaten zum ESC 2015 war sie mit ihren Songs „Adieu“, „My heart still beats“, „Quel filou“ und einer Cover-Version von „Something“ zu sehen und zu hören und hat die internationale Fachjury und das Publikum begeistern können. ZOË’s Swing bringt Stil-Elemente des traditionellen französischen Chansons in die Gegenwart: Elemente der 30er Jahre aus Paris, Belleville, spielen dabei, neben Arrangements am Puls der Zeit, eine tragende Rolle. ZOË’s französische Texte haben Witz und Poesie. Kokett und manchmal auch nachdenklich behandelt ZOË Themen des Alltags genauso wie die großen Themen der gefundenen, verlorenen, glücklichen und unglücklichen Liebe. Über Ihr Engagement bei Holiday on Ice sagt ZOË : „Bereits als Kind war ich fasziniert von Eis-Shows und freue mich, beim Wien-Gastspiel von Holiday on Ice Teil dieser traditionsreichen Show zu sein. Das nächste Ziel in der Wiener Stadthalle ist auf jeden Fall die Bühne selbst.“ Album "Debut" Die 18jährige Sängerin und Songwriterin ZOË präsentierte ihr erstes Album „Debut“ am Donnerstag, 22. Oktober im Wiener Café Francais. Darauf wird ZOË begleitet von Pavel Shalman (Violine), Michael Scheed (Gitarre) und Oliver Steger (Kontrabass). Mit ihrer Band führt ZOË durch alle Songs ihres Erstlingswerks: Eine Reise die von unbändiger, jugendlicher Kraft und Freude bestimmt ist und doch in stillen Momenten direkt ins Herz trifft. Mal sind wir im Paris der 30er Jahre, mal unmittelbar am Puls der Zeit. ZOE live: 18.02.2016 Wien – Konzerthaus, Berio-Saal, 19.30, www.konzerthaus.at Wien, im Oktober 2015 Seite 4 von 15 presseinformation HOLIDAY ON ICE PASSION 13. bis 24. Jänner 2016 in der Wiener Stadthalle Vintage Vegas swoppen live bei PASSION Mit Vintage Vegas präsentiert Holiday on Ice Deutschlands nächste Musiksensation und gleichzeitig die Stargäste der neuen Show Passion. Mit ihrer einzigartigen Musikrichtung, die von Experten SWOP, also „Swing“ meets „Pop“, genannt wird, begeistert die dreiköpfige Band rund um Giovanni Zarrella das Holiday on Ice- Publikum mit neu arrangierten Songs live in jeder Vorstellung. Fasziniert vom Lifestyle der Swing Aera und auf der Idee basierend, Pop-Hits in ein cooles Swing- Gewand zu verpacken, entsteht aus den drei passionierten Musikern die Band Vintage Vegas. Das talentierte Trio verbindet die gemeinsame Liebe zur Musik. Durch den extravaganten Stilmix singt sich Vintage Vegas in die Herzen der Holiday on Ice-Zuschauer und verspricht in jeder Vorstellung von Passion musikalisches Entertainment der neuesten Generation. Giovanni Zarrella Giovanni, der smarte italienische Sänger, Entertainer, TV-Moderator, Mann von Model Jana Ina und Vater der beiden gemeinsamen Kinder, blickt in seiner Karriere bereits auf rund 5 Millionen verkaufte Platten zurück. Seit dem Bestehen der Band „Bro‘Sis“ wurde er mit zahlreichen Preisen wie dem „Goldenen Otto“, dem „Top of the Pops Award“, der „Goldenen Europa“, dem „Comet“, dem begehrten „Bambi“ sowie mit mehreren Gold- & Platinplatten ausgezeichnet. Nun stellt er mit Vintage Vegas ein ganz neues Projekt auf die Beine, in das dieselbe Liebe zum Swing einfließt wie einst bei seinen Helden Frank „Frankyboy“ Sinatra und Dean Martin. Tom Marks Tom Marks ist gebürtiger Pole und wird von seinen Bandkollegen als Liebling aller Schwiegermütter betitelt. Seine musikalische Ausbildung finanzierte der ausgebildete Pianist und Sänger mit Auftritten als Entertainer und Barpianist. Als Kopf der von ihm gegründeten Musikproduktionsfirma Citysoundz und des Verlags Tomas Marks Music komponiert er Jingles für Radiostationen wie BR, MDR, NDR, WDR, City Radio Moskau, 1010 Wins, New York u.v.a. Seit Jahren spielt er in den Metropolen Europas und lässt seiner Kreativität auch als Produzent von Vintage Vegas und weiteren namhaften Künstlern

How to Turn Margot Robbie Into Tonya Harding Choreographer Sarah Kawahara helped the skating newbie become an Olympic contender. If you've seen I, Tonya, you might wonder how on earth figure-skating newbie Margot Robbie transformed into infamous Olympian and world champion Tonya Harding. Not only does Robbie's Oscar-nominated performance bring a version of Harding to life on screen, but she skates like Harding, too. Sarah Kawahara is the woman who taught Margot Robbie how to emulate Harding on the ice. We spoke to the choreographer about the grueling training it takes to turn someone into an Olympian, those tiny little costumes, and just how they pulled off that devilish triple axel. How did you get into figure skating? I started when I was six and skated competitively in Canada.

By Libby Slate Television Academy member Sarah Kawahara has been having an incredible year – and 2018 is barely three months old. In January, the two-time Emmy-winning choreographer – the first person so honored for her work in figure skating, rather than dance – was inducted into both the United States Figure Skating Hall of Fame and the Skate Canada Hall of Fame; she's a native of Montreal. And the movie I, Tonya, for which she did the ice choreography and trained star Margot Robbie to portray figure skater Tonya Harding, received three Oscar nominations, including one for Robbie. "I'm blown away, myself!" Kawahara says with a laugh. "The U.S. Hall of Fame was so tremendously special, because Scott Hamilton agreed to present me, and we spent 18 years of our lives together, developing work, television specials, ice productions.
