Loyola University recognizes success of "Slow Dance" actress Emily Gyan
Loyola University College of Music & Fine Arts recognized the success of recent alum and Slow Dance With Me lead actress, Emily Gyan.
Citing her career as an actress, a singer, a Victory Belle at the National WWII Museum, and model, the article applauds Emily's tremendous work ethic and her dedication to her craft.
“Her work as a Victory Belle has opened numerous opportunities both personally and professionally; ‘I have traveled around the country performing with such talented, kind-hearted, strong women. My most exciting opportunities thus far have been that I sang the national anthem at a Saints Game with the Victory Belles and also performed on Ellis Island in New York City for the Medals of Honor Ceremony this past May’...”
The article continues as Emily describes her experience working with Stella Maris.
“Gyan has had success beyond her work as a Victory Belle although much of it seems to revolve around the same era. One of her most recent projects includes her work on a short film about young love during World War II called “Slow Dance with Me,” written and directed by David Michael Warren, released earlier this year on Amazon Prime.
Gyan revealed that the experience helped challenge her in the techniques of film acting. She says, “I’ve always been a stage actress, but performing for the camera was exhilarating and I learned so much. We had an incredibly talented and supportive team working on the production and it was a really safe space to create.” It seems her hard work has paid off. “Slow Dance with Me” is available on Amazon Prime and is currently enjoying 4.3/5 stars on Amazon and a 9.1/10 rating on IMDB.”
