Our Women Before Us seeks funding to create & produce our first NYC performance and multidisciplinary arts workshop for young creatives.
Project Description
- We have received the incredible opportunity to present a new work, Still Life, at Gibney Dance in New York City June 27-29, 2019 as part of Gibney's Performance Opportunity Project. Our Women Before Us is an artist collective aimed at creating performance & educational opportunities for young people to share their stories & voice across an expansive repertoire of trans-disciplinarian art installation projects throughout the country.
- Our budget of $5,000 for the current production, Still Life is as follows: $4,000 for space rental & working insurance costs, plus $500 in costs for technical support, talent, production, & design. And, $500 to produce a workshop in conjunction with the event (more below). The performance will be a ticketed event from which all proceeds received go to support participating artists & future OWBU projects.
- We are thrilled to be offering a workshop as part of the Still Life installation. It aims to provide opportunities for participants to create and collaborate in a supportive, immersive environment. This will be a free workshop for artists of all socioeconomic backgrounds interested in interdisciplinary creative process.
- Help us reach this goal by Memorial Day May 27, 2019! New rewards will be added as the campaign continues. Thank you so much for your support.
