Help Tiersha Attend Summer Dance Intensives!

Hi friends,

My name is Tiersha Lin and I'm a senior Dance BFA student at UC Santa Barbara. I was recently accepted into VIM VIGOR's Summer 2024 Intensive in Michigan, as well as Laja Field and Victor Rottier's Performance Lab in LA. These programs present unique opportunities to expand my training, develop my artistry, and connect with mentors and peers who share my passion. As I prepare myself to pursue a professional dance career, I envision emerging from these programs as a more empowered artist, equipped with the artistic tools and resilience to create revolutionary art.

As a student, I have limited resources to invest entirely in this incredible opportunity. I am raising funds to cover tuition, travel, housing, and other living expenses. Every contribution, no matter the amount, will assist me in this journey and empower me to pursue my dreams.

Thank you for being a part of my dance journey, your generosity is greatly appreciated.

ABOUT THE PROGRAMS:

VIM VIGOR's summer intensive provides immersive training and research in contemporary dance-theater in the US. The program is anchored in VIM VIGOR's anatomically sound approach to floorwork in combination with their pioneering dance theater methodology, inviting participants to dive into adaptive and reactive physical pathways, explore the physical and emotional lines of complex partner work, and engage narrative devices as an additional resource for improvisational and compositional approaches.

Laja Field and Victor Rottier are hosting their first-ever collaborative performance lab, where they will guide a collaborative process that seeks to push physical and performative limits. Participants will experience two styles of floorwork-based classes through a technical and physical approach, jam-packed with improvisation, set material, and analytical tasks.
