Hi everyone,

I’m currently developing a new live performance project titled 'The Erotica Ball'. This is an extravagant, movement-based piece that blends dance, theater, music, and visual storytelling to explore how we connect, express ourselves, and exist together in shared spaces. It’s being created with a small group of collaborators here in New York City, and we’re in the early stages of bringing it to life. And most vitaly, it's inspired by Madonna's 1992 album, 'Erotica'.

I’m raising funds to support the development phase of the project. We've had one successful workshop of the beginning of the piece at Creature Space in Brooklyn and are ready for the next step. Specifically, your contributions will go toward rehearsal space rentals in NYC, basic production materials (costumes, props, and design elements), and administrative costs to help get the project off the ground. All funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward rehearsal and production expenses. The artists involved will be compensated later through ticket sales and performance revenue once the show is fully staged. This project is being built from the ground up, and having access to consistent rehearsal space is the biggest immediate need. Your support directly creates the time and space necessary for us to experiment, collaborate, and shape the work.

Whether you’re able to contribute or simply share this page, it truly means a lot. Every bit of support helps move this project forward. More updates, images, and behind-the-scenes moments to come soon. Thank you for being part of this process.

—Ryan
