<div><strong>Sharing Ground – Contact Improvisation Community Project Koh Phangan</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Koh Phangan has become an inspiring meeting place for Contact Improvisation (CI) dancers from all over the world.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But how can this international community connect more meaningfully with the country of Thailand that supports it?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>Sharing Ground</em> is our way of putting this question into practice.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>This project proposes a series of concrete actions where art becomes a bridge between communities and cultures. </strong>We aim to cultivate integration between Thai creative practitioners, locals from the island, and the international Contact Improvisation community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We offer this GoFundMe as<strong> an opportunity to be part </strong>of building a more grounded and interconnected space of dance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are raising €2,000 from the community, which will be matched euro-for-euro by a sponsor, bringing the project to €4,000 in total support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That means:
</div>
<div>• Every €20 donated becomes €40 of support.
</div>
<div>• Every €50 becomes €100.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have already received €235 in early support from friends and community. This has been doubled to €470 by our sponsor. With this online campaign we aim to raise the remaining funds together.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support helps cover essential project costs — including artist accommodation, coordination of the program, and the production of the new collective art book.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You support not only the creation of artwork, but also of <strong>meaningful moments</strong> of learning, connection, and exchange.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The project unfolds through:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Scholarship Program</strong>
</div>
<div>We invite Thai artists and creatives to join dance intensives throughout the season with internationally respected teachers on a pay-what-you-can basis, in some cases offering support with accommodation and other costs. Visiting artists are invited to share their current work through performances and creative exchange.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Collaborative Performance Nights</strong>
</div>
<div>Performances where artists from different disciplines—dance, music, poetry and visual art—create and share work together. Both Thai and international dancers are invited to co-create performances, sharing and developing their work with the broader community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Collective Art Publication</strong>
</div>
<div>A printed artistic book that collects photographs, texts, interviews, and creative reflections from different members of the community. The publication explores how we enter into a relationship with Koh Phangan’s people, landscape, sensations and cultural context.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We plan to publish contributions from the whole CI community including Thai artists and scholarship participants.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Formats include collecting interviews with locals on the island, as well as gathering and crafting new artistic works. We have already gathered some photographs of site specific dance, and beautiful new poems. At the moment we are actively <strong>collecting interviews </strong>on the island.
</div>

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Steven LeBlanc</strong> supports the project as the initial sponsor, supporter and advisor, committed to matching the donations raised through crowdfunding.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Values</strong>
</div>
<div>Sharing Ground is guided by the values of co-creation, curiosity, responsibility and<strong> innovation.</strong> Rather than simply passing through the island, we want to cultivate a deeper relationship through artistic practices and exchange.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Project Time Frame</strong>
</div>
<div>15 January – 30 April 2026
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How Can You Support?</strong>
</div>
<div>We are launching this crowdfunding campaign to support the development of the project.
</div>
<div>We aim to raise €2,000, which will be matched by a sponsor, bringing the total to €4,000.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>These funds go towards essential project costs, allowing us to:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Support artists participating in the performances
</div>
<div>• Organize and coordinate the project
</div>
<div>• Produce the art publication
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you would consider a larger-scale investment or donation to this program, we are happy to share more details on request and can provide detailed budgets and information about exactly what your <strong>contribution brings into action</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are:
</div>
<div>• A dancer who loves, or has loved, coming to Koh Phangan to study and dance
</div>
<div>• A supporter of the arts interested in creativity and quality artistic production
</div>
<div>• Someone curious about how art can support communication, interconnection and community building
</div>
<div>• A friend who wants to see this happen
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We offer this GoFundMe as an opportunity. This opportunity is not just for us as individuals — it is a chance for our whole community, as well as outside supporters, to be part of something deeply worth doing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Supporters who contribute €50 or more are warmly invited to receive a "thank you" copy of the final publication if they wish.

<div>Future Research Path:<strong> Improvisation in Youth Education</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The project initially also proposed exploring how CI dancers could support youth education on Koh Phangan.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We had planned to offer free classes at a local temple learning center serving the children of Burmese migrants. Koh Phangan is home to a large Burmese migrant community, many of whom have fled the ongoing conflict in Myanmar and work in precarious conditions in the island’s tourism and construction industries.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Unfortunately, the school is currently still closed due to regulatory issues with the Thai government. For now, we are reframing this as an open research path rather than a fixed program. We remain interested in sharing creative approaches to education with young people. This branch may not develop within the set time frame of the project, but remains an open curiosity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are interested in exploring:
</div>
<div>• Whether there are ways to support the learning center to re-open and stabilize.
</div>
<div>• Ways to engage with the youth the school usually serves.
</div>
<div>• Contact with other schools or educational centers that may be open to receiving free arts, movement and English activities for their students.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are open to receiving support and collaboration in these areas.
</div>
