AAAAANNNNNNDDDDD, now it's my turn.
After staring, puppy-dog-eyed at so many artist's requests for funding, now I get to ask....
Here's the deal: I just moved (for my husband's job - not my choice! But it was his dream-job, so we had to) to Washington D.C. and even though it will be a good move for the long run (thing 10-20 years) it has put my husband and I deeply in debt and me out of a job.
I JUST got a part-time job at the National Zoo, am sub-teaching at a local studio, and am commuting to Baltimore for my new company, but all of that means we're still not able to pay our bills and are leaning heavily on family to get us from month to month.
SO, before we moved, I got and signed onto the fantastic opportunity to go back to Chicago in late September through early October to perform with Mordine and Company Dance Theater and Mucca Pazza at The Dance Center of Columbia College for their 40th Anniversary Season. This is a big deal.
Now I am faced with the challenge of getting back to Chicago to rehearse, tech, teach masterclasses for children and adults, and dance for one of the most discerning dance audiences I will ever face.
Please consider helping me get there. I even made a nice little video to show you how hard I've been working over these last few years.
Thank you in advance (for donating OR simply sharing my GoFundMe page with your friends) and here's where you can help:

This is a blog about what it's like to find Contemporary Dance in a new community. I have lived, taught and danced in Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Miami, Chicago and now Washington D.C. As a teacher and performer I am always interested in finding out what people are interested in artistically and technically. Follow me as I discover Contemporary Dance performance, writing, critique and pedagogy in the various places I travel and teach. Aaaaand, I'm sure I'll let you know what I'm up to too.
