Hello, Alex here!

I am excited and honored to share "Cold Case," my first self-produced evening-length performance, premiering in December 2025. "Cold Case" is a fictionalized story about three individuals held captive by an antagonist. This work blends my backgrounds in dance, psychology, and criminology. My goal is to spark conversation and raise awareness about the different ways people respond to trauma, and that anyone can find themselves in such a situation. I strive to create work that goes beyond a conventional dance show, and I am pouring my education, interests, and research into the making of this production.

I am raising funds to support the incredible artists involved in "Cold Case." All donations will be used entirely to compensate the dancers for their time, energy, and artistry. I feel very fortunate to work with them, and I want to ensure they are supported in the best way possible. As many of you know, securing grants is challenging (I apply to at least one each week), so this platform is another opportunity for me to support my cast effectively. I sincerely appreciate any donation you can make and ask that you share this fundraiser with anyone who might be interested.

I hope to see you on December 5th and 6th for the premiere of "Cold Case" at Irondale in Brooklyn, NY.

Peace and power,

Alex Schmidt
