Now’s the time to join 44 amazing donors who have supported my newest project “Suspending and Other Tricks”. The donations I’ve received so far have helped me reach 61% of my goal!
We got an extension and have TEN DAYS LEFT!
If I do not reach my goal, the donations will be returned to the donors and I will not receive funds!

“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 only $1,383 left to go before November 25th!
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.
