About this project

HERE and NOW…

æmp:dance / amiti perry + company needs financial support to continue to create exciting dance works for performances in NYC and beyond. We are planning an incredible line up of events and performances over the next 16 months including a season production with new work along side repertory from the past 10 years!

It is a blessing to be able to share my passion for life and art through dance performance. I am only a few crucial steps away from building a viable organization that help support the artists and dancers, without whom my work would not exist. So often, dancers and collaborators literally give blood, sweat and tears in support of this work. Their role in my success to date is unquestionable and unbelievable.

In this CRITICAL moment, we turn to YOU, our fans, friends & family for your support and generosity. Please consider giving to help us with all of our company needs. Your donations, whatever amount or capacity, help the company in our many endeavors, from absolute beginning to end!

Our immediate goal is $5000 for our upcoming spring premiere and summer expenses:

  • Space Rental
  • Artist Fees
  • Marketing
  • Technical Fees
  • Costumes
  • Collaborator Fees
  • Festival Application Fees

 

HERE we ARE…

On June 11, 2011, we will premiere STUCK: in the IN-betweens |head, heart, gut, body, place|. This new work has been in development since Fall 2010 and has received encouraging feedback along the way from multiple audiences. STUCK: in the IN-betweens |head, heart, gut, body, place| peers into a realm of the intellectual and physical process of being constrained, restrained and bound to something or someone. This company of powerful females embraces the elements of these situational constrictions and finds their way to complete release through challenging choreography that explores the spectrum of intimate gesture and full force movements. A voyeuristic audience will be consumed as the provocative vignettes carry them through the journey of finding function within dysfunction in a highly charged environment.

“Amiti Perry's unique and challenging choreography consistently inspires and throws out of the window what you may have thought you knew about dancing…”

We seek your assistance to meet all of the  current performance needs! We still have weeks of rehearsal space, costume expenses, collaborator fees and PERFORMER fees.

 

HERE we GO…

For 2011-2012, we have BIG dreams and HIGH hopes for exciting NYC performances and touring in multiple cities in the US and abroad... ALL of which need time and money to start planning effectively! This summer we will have a company manager joining our team to help BUILD our company into a a surging dance force.

 The largest initiative for the coming months includes a SEASON performance of new works and repertory to celebrate 10 years since my first premiere with DIPdance, Two Arms Full Circle. This performance will have a 12-person cast, huge technical needs, and artist travel assistance in addition all of the typical production needs.

 we  THANK YOU for your consideration and support...
