<div>I am excited to share that the presentation of my Applied Project (read: thesis performance project) this month has expanded from the joy of arriving at this important milestone in my graduate school studies to the ecstatic celebration of presenting my work for future international touring opportunities!

<div><strong>Funding Challenges</strong>
</div>
<div>Along with informing you about this project and the trajectory towards international touring that I have been recently invited to (more on October 15th), I am contacting you to ask for support with cultivating the necessary resources for presenting A Tale of Fire &amp; Flight and preparing for international touring.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There are few compounding events that have greatly impacted the funding of this project. From the defunding of arts programs on a federal level to funding sources shifting their priorities, heightening the competition for arts funding as a consequence, the financial stability of A Tale of Fire &amp; Flight has been greatly impacted.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The last blow that took the wind out of me was discovering that <a href="https://www.statepress.com/article/2025/08/politics-graduate-student-government-suspension-investigation" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">ASU has suspended the Graduate Student Government </a>and paused all related funding. GSG, through their Graduate and Research Support Program and Travel Grants, has been instrumental in financially supporting graduate research for decades. Due to this suspension, my applied project only has I am at least $3,000 in debt due to a summer travel grant I was awarded from GSG that can not be reimbursed and thesis funding no longer being available.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am asking for your support by helping me raise $5,000 to cover debt and other related production costs. This funding support will give A Tale of Fire &amp; Flight the strongest artistic foundation needed to present to producers for international touring.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Here’s how you can support:</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Donate to this GoFundMe campaign
</li>
<li>Contact people in your network who are aligned with the themes and research of this project, and encourage them to donate
</li>
<li>Share this GoFundMe!
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!</strong>
