I’m so excited to kick off this year as one of eight recipients of the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone (UMEZ) Mertz Gilmore Seed for Dance Fund!
This funding will help to create the ReSTART Project, a brand new, LIVE, outdoor performance for Summer 2022.
ReSTART is a site-specific dance piece created for Fort Washington Park. It will feature 7 performers dancing in vignettes across the northern part of the park. The piece culminates in a final group performance overlooking the Hudson River.
Creating more opportunities for dance uptown is essential to bringing live art back to NYC. I’m so thrilled to bring this performance to life and be able to envision a new project for the year.
It’s definitely been a challenging start to 2022, but we will continue to create change and build community through our work!
All good things,
Jenny
