Why Donate to
Terpsichore Collective?
Terpsichore Collective presents contemporary dance works by professional dance artists in the Ann Arbor area through live performances, site specific projects, and dance-for-film projects. We're also launching a new dance festival in hopes of making the Ann Arbor area once again a hub for contemporary dance.
We hope to reach not only established dance goers as audience, but to bring in viewers who may have interests in other art forms but have not experienced much dance. We also hope to reach people in the community who haven’t had much previous art exposure. Our initial approach to this is through social media campaigns, as well as reaching deep into the social networks of participating choreographers, dancers, and musicians through individualized letters and invitations.
Funds received will be used toward dancer pay, performance and rehearsal venues, music licensing fees, paying tech crew, costumes, marketing, and festival submission fees, and other related production expenses.
Terpsichore Collective Dance Company is a 501c3 nonprofit organization
