Human Movement Project Fiscally Sponsored Artist
Supporting NunweilerTanz
From the Artist:
So often when we see a performance, movie, or concert we are witnessing a finished product. But what happens at the beginning and middle of a creative process?
If you guessed fundraising you’d be partially right!
There is also the administrative work including budgeting, marketing, and contracting as well as creative work including research, choreography preparation, and choosing music or sound to go along with the piece.
This spring I am working on a new show called SALVAGE, which explores my upbringing in the Evangelical Christian church in South Carolina. Read: unpacking religious trauma with puppet ministry, sing-a-longs, an entire jazzy revival scene, and much much more.
This fundraiser supports a cast of six dancers—Ava D’Eon, Claire Lane, Miranda Lawson, Eliza Malecki, Carmen S. Rizzo, and Virginia Spinks—and a composer, Calvin Hitchcock, as well as our production costs.
Unsure what to give?
Here are a few of our personal expenses:
-
$4: pays for 2.5 hours of parking in Cambridge
-
$30: covers an inevitable Cambridge parking ticket
And process expenses:
-
$17: pays one dancer for one hour of rehearsal
-
$18.99: buys a hard plastic swimming pool
-
$300: covers our scheduled photoshoot on 4/4
Performance expenses:
-
$50 pays one dancer for an informal showing
-
$250: buys new costumes for six dancers
-
$750: covers our videography expenses on 5/31
And things we have found we need along the way:
-
$100: pays for dance socks for our showing at the Boston Fringe Festival (gotta protect those toes!)
-
$5,000: buys Eliza Malecki a new (used) car
We hope you will consider giving any amount this spring as we work to bring SALVAGE to the stage! Our upcoming showings include:
May 10 + 11 at Boston Fringe Festival
May 31 at The Dance Complex (with a Q+A!)
