Update #4: HOMELAND's next performance?
Hello Homeland backers!
Last winter you were all so wonderful in coming to the support of HOMELAND. As you know, your contributions helped make it a big success. Now, I'm producing a dance festival in the same venue. It's called FLICfest (Feature-Length Independent Choreography) and it includes a performance of HOMELAND, as well as performances by 11 other dance companies, each presenting an hour-long work over two weekends, January 20-29.
Some people think I'm crazy for taking on such a big project, and in the midst of a recession, no less! Leaving aside questions of my sanity, I have a lot of work to do, most of it revolves around raising money.
I'm writing to you because you've come to my aid once, so I'm hoping you're likely to kick in again. We have an all-new Kickstarter project for FLICfest and it ends in 60 hours! The money we're raising will go directly to pay the other choreographers for their work in FLICfest. Please check out our Kickstarter page: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/catscratchtheatre/flicfest-a-new-festival-of-feature-length-independ
There are some really great sponsorship levels that will get you tickets to the shows. So, if you're in NYC (or want to visit) come and check us out!
Many thanks,
Jeramy
Update #3: Thank you!
I just want to thank you again for your part in making Homeland happen. Without meeting this Kickstarter goal, I don't know how we would pull it off. Contributions started at $5 and went up from there. 59 of you backed this project. What a wonderful example of people coming together to make something great happen.
Speaking of something great, the show is right around the corner. Februray 25-27. Get your tickets here: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/99420
I can't wait to see all of you to express my gratitude in person.

Update #2: Crossing the finish line!
We are almost there! We have just $370 to raise in the next 8 hours and 35 minutes. Thank you for everything - the pledges, the re-postings and re-tweets. I am thrilled that we're on target to hit our goal (and the dancers are happy too!) and I'm excited to have 50 backers! This goal will be met with pledges that start at $5 and go from there...
I don't want to celebrate too soon - we're not quite there yet. I'm sure we can get this last $370 taken care of. Please share this project with people who share your interests (or who do what you tell them to do). This would also be a great time to increase your pledge by $5 or $10 if you can. (I have no way of knowing who has increased their pledges, so there is no pressure on that front.) It could make all the difference.
You have all made this bitterly cold day much warmer. Thank you! I hope to see you all at the show.
xo,
Jeramy
Update #1: Thank you!
I am so excited. Thanks for your pledges. We are 69% funded and I think we'll make it. If you know someone who's always trying to be just like you, let them know about your pledge!

FLICfest is a project of Jeramy Zimmerman/CatScratch Theatre and is a co-production with the Irondale Center
CatScratch Theatre is a scrappy band of misfit dancers. We dance anywhere that we can and even some places where we can’t. We’re classy and well-trained, but irreverent. We’re usually dressed to the nines.
We believe that art is powerful. It has the power to unite and heal. It has the ability to promote peace, empathy and understanding. It can spark a revolution or an economic revitalization.
We have a strong commitment to and history of community activation. Our earliest performances were guerrilla – taking dance to the people instead of convincing the people to come to us in a theater. Over the years, we have stayed true to our roots by public performance that seeks to alter the way that New Yorkers view and interact with their environment.
