Happy Songs About Unhappy Things to Screen at Dances With Films As An Official Pilots Selection
eTradeWire News/10772804
Creator and Director Nikki Lynette slated to attend the Los Angeles screening.
LOS ANGELES - eTradeWire -- Nikki Lynette is a social impact artist and suicide survivor who fuses mental health activism into her musical theater performances, film projects and visual art. On June 29, 2024, the Los Angeles film enthusiasts who attend Dances With Films at TCL Chinese 6 Theaters will get to witness this art first hand at her screening of the documusical entitled Happy Songs About Unhappy Things!
A National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Board Member for the Chicago chapter, "Lynette the Threat," lives up to the name. Nikki was the first Black female playwright to have a musical produced by American Music Theatre Project (AMTP) and the first American playwright to be invited to Cove Park's Musical Theatre Writing residency in Scotland. Her talent as a multi-faceted artist has allowed her to propel community involvement and engagement through art.
"When I first started speaking publicly about my mental health issues in 2016, there wasn't a whole bunch of people talking about it. Nowadays there are a lot of people talking about it, but I don't really think much has changed. Like yeah, I can talk online about being a suicide survivor and living with a mental illness, but people like me ain't really seeing no change in the world. We have to be the change for ourselves." - Nikki Lynette
