	Erik Brown - Unduly influenced by Bucaroo Banzai in his formative years, Erik makes attempts at anything he finds interesting. Upon an invitation to participate as a videographer in InterPlay: Intransitve Senses. Erik became involved in several other performances with Another Language, even appearing in front of the camera in InterPlay: Loose Minds in a Box and Music for Bubble Biters: The Mocumentary. He can often be found up to his elbow's in clay at the Bountiful University of Utah ceramics lab or deep in the racks of the High Performance Computing machine rooms, when he's not out wandering in the woods looking for a muse.
	Harold Carr - (acoustic and electric bass) has performed and recorded with numerous artists such as Bobby McFerrin, Crystal Gayle, Lightnin' Hopkins, John McCuen, Steve Lacy, Catie Curtis and Matt Flinner.

	Travis Eberhard - grew up in a wee small farming community in northern Utah he lovingly refers to as "The Gateway to Idaho". There wasn't a lot for a guy like Travis to do on a farm, so he spent a lot of time teaching himself to draw, and watching TV. He still loves to draw when ever possible, and would like to write and illustrate a few children's books before he dies. He graduated from Brigham Young University earning BA in Film Production with a directing emphasis, and now pays the bills as a video editor for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Audiovisual department. He just finished directing and editing a short film called BOOM!! for entry into a reality show for film directors. He also dabbles in the art of acting and can be seen as an extra on a few episodes of Touched By An Angel, a pilot for the Showtime program Paradise, and Salma Hayek's directorial debut The Maldonado Miracle. He also had small speaking roles in the feature films Church Ball and Stalking Santa. But his favorite role to date, was Professor William Mockus in Interplay: Nel Tempo di Sogno, March 30-April 1, 2007. Travis loves anything and everything creative and hopes to be able to spend the rest of his days in such pursuits. Travis starred as Mr. Barney Carnacle the Ring Master in Another Language Performing Arts Company's InterPlay: Carnivale, March 28-30, 2008
	Paul Heath - specializes in nostalgic interpretations of our urban landscape. Salt Lake City & Nostalgia are the primary themes for his artwork. If he had to categorize his work, he thinks it falls into the Pop-Nostalgia movement. He graduated from the University of Utah with a BFA in Drawing and Painting in 1985 and has had the fortune to work on over a dozen public art projects including the etched glass windows at Spring Mobile Ballpark. He has enjoyed working with Interplay, as the silkscreen artist (artistic dreamer) of Nel Tempo di Sogno in 2007 and assisting, along with his son Colin, with computer figurative work in last year's AnARTomy.
	Cynthia Hogan - attended California Institute of the Arts, (CalArts) in Character Animation where she studied animation for the next three years.

She continued to work her way up at Disney, becoming an Animating Assistant on Rescuers Down Under and an animator on Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin. Eventually she moved from Disney to work for Rich Animation and then for Warner Brothers Feature Animation. While she was working at Warner Brothers, she was recruited by their training department to work with a group of interns teaching them the basic principles of animation. She discovered she really enjoyed the opportunity to teach, later she was asked to teach an advanced animation class at Cal Arts. It wasn't long before she was given additional classes to teach and her responsibilities grew into a full time position. She became the Associate Director of the Character Animation Department and then the Interim Director. Cynthia was invited to apply for an opening at BYU and she was hired in (2008) for the position of Animation Professor. She now teaches all levels of animation at BYU and is excited to be a part of this growing program. When not teaching, Cynthia enjoys drawing, writing scripts and performing music.
