Dear Friends & Beloveds, We are so grateful for you and your commitment to Dancing Earth’s mission. THANK YOU. Thanks to your support and friendship, we have been able to launch unforeseen joyful positivity in new offerings over the past months. When the C19 crisis hit, Dancing Earth Creations was immediately devastated by loss… of good friends, family, livelihoods, and community to this dis-ease. In those first weeks we struggled, trying to figure out what we could offer to our communities to bring light and hope to what felt like an extremely dark moment. Together we found a way, and lifted up our voices, and asked others to join us... we THRIVED inside this crisis..we shone as a light to uplift, to bring resilience, hope, and magic! With this in mind we continue to focus our program development by stretching into unknown realms of online offerings, with a focus on offering space to marginalized voices.

Our year-end goal is to raise $38,000 by December 31st--- and if just 500 of our friends donate $75 we will reach our goal, allowing us to pay artists, lecturers, and teachers a living wage as well as offering low and no cost events for everyone to be uplifted, together!
|
|
With your ongoing support we will thrive together---
bringing resilience, hope, and magic through our many programs and projects:
|
|
|
Lectures & Panels: Our lecture and panel series are a platform for conscious thought provoking conversations, bringing voice to those that are not always given a voice in our social spaces. i.e Afro-Indigenous Empowerment & Indigenous Two Spirit / IndigiQueer / Native Trans Talk Circle The Legacy Internship Program is a project we have been cultivating over the last few years via our Summer Institutes. This year we turned a corner with this project with three members of our dance cohort moving into different roles within the business areas of the company, in Arts Administration, Teacher Training, Filmmaking, and Marketing fields. |
|
Dancing Earth ARTIST COHORT: This cohort has been meeting weekly since April for support, training, and as a place for developing online offerings in community. The COHORT developed a new method of choreography with Rulan Tangen’s fierce direction, continuing to make art no matter what, with whatever you have at hand. As we recognize the need for skill building amongst artists, we offered training in film making, virtual backgrounds and green screening, and sound scoring for development of online digital presentations. The results of these ongoing collaborative relationships was Indigenous Futurities w/Toaster Lab, and the BTW US Cyberspace with Jon Sims and Carolina Azteca Sirias. |
