Fund Funk Buddha Float/Dance Parade

Activation in progress. 
Let us manifest
interactive methods to address
the devision and the stress.

We come together and marinate
in the brew of possibilities
that are unorthodox
and as a result, we're building
a Tea House thats also a Boom Box.



Dear friends,

For the past 10 years I have been researching traditions of Japanese tea and merging them with elements of classic Hip Hop culture to create " The Urban Tea Ceremony." This story is performed in an imaginary tea house animated by an international cast of dancers and musicians.

And for the past 5 years  I have  attended the Dance Parade but never on a float.  For the 10th Annual Dance Parade on Saturday May 21st, I would like to unveil "The Boom Box Tea House," the first physical and portable structure for the Urban Tea Ceremony. 

Now more than ever, we must be reminded of the beauty that can be released through unlikely encounters and true cultural exchange. It is my hope that with The Boom Box Tea House this story will have a profound presence throughout New York City... and the world!  

I am asking your support to help me manifest The Boom Box Tea House and put it on a fully decorated PARADE FLOAT in this year's Dance Parade. Your contribution will enable us to fully secure a Boom Box Tea House float package that comes with liability insurance, a sound system and a tow vehicle to pull a 28+ foot parade float.

Make sure you save the date, Saturday May 21st and please help by spreading the word.

Much Love and Gratitude,

Akim Funk Buddha
