Fund Dear Body, Love Me Dance Show

Put on your favorite love song and listen deeply. Notice what images come to mind when you hear the opening chords. Your partner's hands? Your wedding day? The look on your lover's face when you saw them for the last time?

Now try something else. Imagine that the singer of that love song is your soul. Imagine your soul singing that love song to your body. Turn the music up loud and dance.

I'm beyond excited to be producing Dear Body, Love Me, an evening of dances about the love affair between soul and body, featuring choreography by Bella Halek, Lydia McDonald, Steph Mizrahi, Elsie Neilson, Ariel Scott, and myself. We're performing September 12 & 13, 2025 at Stomping Ground Los Angeles. This show seeks to explore the idea that the greatest love affair of your life is not between you and another person, but between your soul and your body. My hope is that you leave the show feeling greater curiosity, gratitude, and tenderness towards the precious vessel that carries you through this life.

If you're interested in seeing this work come to life, please consider contributing whatever you can to this GoFundMe campaign, and follow dearbody.loveme on Instagram for sneak peeks of rehearsal between now and opening night on September 12, 2025.

Your donation covers production costs so that ticket sales can pay the dancers donating their time, passion, and bodies to bring this vision to life. Too often, dancers dance for free. With your generosity and support, I hope to produce a show where ticket sales go directly to dancers. For the sake of transparency, I've broken down all production costs below. Thank you for supporting this artwork—here's to being good lovers to our bodies!
