The Kings MoUntain Herald " Page 7 REBECCA PISCOPO/HERALD Larry Hamrick, Sr. points to the original deed, dating back to the 19th century, for Hays Insurance which hangs in his office. John Warlick, of Warlick & Hamrick Insurance, purchased Hays agency in 1971. SENIOR CALENDAR Extreme Talent Productions opens next week in downtown REBECCA PISCOPO rpiscopo@kingsmountainherald.com Dawn Rickus - a lifetime dancer, actress, and performer and the New Faces Director for Wilhelmina-Evolution in Charlotte - claims that her mis- sion is to discover talented chil- dren and teens in Kings Mountain through her new agency on attleground Avenue, Extreme Talent Productions, which is due to open next week. “It’s my job to scout talent, bring them into the agency developed, and ready to go,” Rickus said. With four dance studios in KM, according to Rickus who also owned one, she wants to expose all types of talent. ‘I realize there’s a need in this area to train actors, singers, and models because the people here don’t realize you can go on and do that professionally,” Rickus stated. Rickus hopes to use the downtown studio as a “launch- ing pad” for Wilhelmina in Charlotte. Kings Mountain talent, which she has witnessed perform either on stage, as extras or in small roles on-screen, include local actors Dan Walega and Rachel Mower. Other kids she has represented have appeared in “Cloverfield” and “Enchanted.” At the local level, Rickus says, they will work closely with the Kings Mountain Little Theater at the Joy, which is down the street. Some urban legends concern- ing kid entertainment, which Rickus plans to counteract, are pushy stage parents. “One of the first things we do is talk to the parents. We will not take a child if parents are aggressive,” Rickus said. erforming should be what the child or teen has a passion for, Rickus said. For those with the “passion” and techniques, who are accept- ed at Extreme, they will have opportunities such as audition- ing for Wilhelmina’s porto ance CIngis and goons) troop, “Kidz in the Biz.” Right now the troop has 15 kids, doing 20 minute shows. Rickus claims that they received a standing ovation after they per- formed in Disney World this summer. There will also be chances to take workshops with trained actors such as ‘Rickus’s friend, who played Belle from Beauty and the Beast, in Disney World for seven years. “We focus a lot on games and . * improvisation. We want them (the kids) to be real and be able to follow directions. We want to develop the individual,” Rickus: said. Whether or not the future KM talent chooses a professional acting career or to go to college, Rickus says that her agency offers the opportunity to build confidence and character, which the kids can use in the future, in front of a big screen or before a board of executives.
