Mathew Janczewski and Taja Will are local choreographers partnered for an exciting opportunity & artistic challenge, to create a new performance in collaboration. Both have distinct aesthetics and have received multiple honors for their work.
“Together we represent different facets and generations of the LGTBQIA2+ community. Along with the collaborative ensemble we converge folks who are queer, lesbian, gay, BIPOC, trans, non-binary, gender expansive, disabled, established artists and early career dancers. This work brings us to a meeting place of reclamation, celebrating ourselves and radical community care. It attempts to reveal the deeply sensual pleasures of queerness and the intertwined realities of grief and rage.”
OUR ASK: At this time we acknowledge the privilege of support we’ve received, and the need for mutual aid/financial support on the front lines of social justice movements.
This project needs additional financial support to become fully realized, and to offer artists with marginalized identities thriving wages. Instead of crowdsource funding or asking our already stretched friends and family we are looking to organizations and small businesses who are value-aligned for support.
