Fundraising & Yoga
Firstly, I’d like to tell you that rehearsals are going great, we have sat around talking about the script for hours now and are finally ready to jump on our feet. Tonight we had our first dance rehearsal — and it was awesome! I am very grateful to have my lovely co-choreographer Katie Eberhardy onboard with this project, a dancer whose passion is to create work inspired by visual art. It was wonderful to finally start getting our bodies into the curves and colors of these paintings, and my media director Timothy Caldwell got a little video that I might put up next week.
Secondly, I’d like to invite all of you to our fundraiser parties in Chicago! We have three super awesome nights planned all for your enjoyment, and money made at each event will help Vincent’s Yellow come to life.

Now, I don’t care if I hardly know you, I’d love to see you at any and all of these events. You can go out and drink anywhere, anytime, but why not support great art while doing so? I think there are pretty much no excuses. ;)If you do not live in Chicago, and cannot come to these parties, or — heaven forbid — cannot come to the show, I’d like to encourage you to make a donation to this project. I am self-producing Vincent’s Yellow, which means the whole budget (except for what I raise) is coming out of my own pocket. Your help, even if it’s $5, would mean the world to me. If you can’t come to the show, but wish you could, then why not donate the price of a ticket, $18? Every penny helps us buy costumes, paint, chairs, postcards… the list goes on and on.
Also, you’d be helping a project that I’m convinced has huge amounts of karma blessing it, and so that karma would also be spread to you. This I’m positive about. Press the donate button in the right-hand column of the webpage, it will allow you to donate through paypal.
Lastly, I wanted to share a little yoga with you all. Yoga is a major part of our ensemble’s practice within rehearsal. It builds our strength, our flexibility, our stamina, and our team spirit. Enjoy the little video (also by Timothy Caldwell) and have a wonderful week!
