Hurricanes don’t stop art – help make my work a reality!

October 31, 2012  | Karen  | General

I want to thank everyone for their generous support of my newest project “Suspending and Other Tricks”.  The donations I’ve received so far have helped me reach 53% of my goal! IF I DON’T REACH MY GOAL, I WILL NOT RECEIVE FUNDS AND DONATIONS WILL BE RETURNED TO DONORS.

We still have a long way to go, and I need your help! 
Please consider supporting my new work by making a donation.

“Suspending and Other Tricks: Preliminary Research and Development” is the first stage of my next exploration as I continue to work at redefining choreography for solo dance, and more audaciously, at redefining who dancers are and can be.  Themes that I will explore include: what makes good art; the dramatic versus the mundane (or, finding true drama within the mundane); mortality; sexual identity; and the limitations of age.

I’m sharing this project at an early stage of its development because I hope you might be interested in supporting the work.

There’s $1,529 left to go before November 16th!  

This amount will cover fundamental costs including choreographer’s creation time, assistant video editor, the development of set-design and materials, and fabric for costume creation.  If you can support this project with a donation, in any capacity, together we can make this idea a reality! Sharing the project with others and sending me your thoughts are also very valuable ways to show your support.

So help art in America grow!
