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!
Gratefully,
Karen Bernard

“This current global situation is immensely sad and challenging, including the necessary cancellations/ postponements/ restructuring of opportunities, but we are so grateful for how you and the Performance Mix #34: Remotely Yours team has honored all of the artists involved – artistically, financially, and emotionally. In these uncertain, confusing times, we feel taken care of & clearly communicated with. Thank you.”
