Help Launch Cantankerous Creatures
Donation protected
Being a dancer has been such a thrilling adventure that's taken me around the world, on stages, in music videos and movies and introduced me to people whose depth of wisdom, kindness, curiosity and passion have inspired me deeply. However up until now, I have only been able to share all this richness with my community through stories, photos and short videos that don't do justice to the feeling of being in the room for a live performance. Through this project, for the first time I am able to bring this world that I love so deeply to the people that I love just as much! It's my dream to share with you the power of this art form that connects us back to our bodies and each other.
To help me pull this off, I am bringing in an A-team of artists who I have met and fallen in love with during my travels. Each one, like me, has had to make deep sacrifices to achieve the level of talent they have even as contemporary dance opportunities have shifted and dwindled. I am so proud to be offering a place for artists to gather and create with support and stability, but providing them this level of security has a very real financial price tag.
Artists are often forced to accept unlivable payment and essentially finance the projects they're a part of by using their outside work to fund their ability to do the work they have trained for. It is so important for me that even though this is my first project, my respect for the artists is communicated both in my actions, but also in my payment by establishing a livable baseline that I plan to grow moving forward, which means I need help.
I'm so excited to bring my vision for a Boston where the arts and community are thriving, into reality and I am asking you if you will help do it with me. As I am not taking compensation for any of the work I'm putting into the show, every dollar goes directly to an artist and making the show happen.
If the only way you can support in this moment is by buying a ticket, we would love to have you at the show or one of our Friday night open rehearsals and we're offering artist and low income tickets to make sure everyone can be! If you are able to show your support with a donation, any amount is deeply appreciated and we have several ways to demonstrate our thanks at every level.
Thank you for making Boston a place for dance!
