fulfilled one of her ambitions with a 3-year contract at Disney's Epcot Centre
in Orlando Florida as a character in a show called "The Epbots"in
which she performed as "QT-1"for the show "DIGIT and QT1".
The performance involved a dance routine and interaction with visitors wearing
a full chrome costume with 64 different communication sounds which were built
into the costume.
