We can keep the Curtain Up! https://gindance.com/2022/07/30/please-support-our-7-8-9-fundraising-drive-together-we-can-keep-the-curtain-up/ Sat, 30 Jul 2022 16:12:21 +0000 http://gindance.org/GinDance/?p=7465 We need your help raising $7,000 by 8/9… Thus, 7-8-9!

It’s been a very busy and exciting 2021 – 2022 season at GDC…  We’ve completed some wonderful performances including our season opening production  “Perfect 10 +” in which we collaborated with FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology, NY) at the Capital One Hall.  We presented “Look Beyond” at the Atlas INTERSECTIONS Festival.  We were thrilled and honored to create and perform “Aspire” for A Celebration of “Buoyant Force”, a magnificent 50 foot tall steel sculpture created by Sue Wribcan which is installed at the Reston Town Square Park. We were especially proud to perform at the Smithsonian National Zoo in Celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the first two adorable pandas arrival in DC.

In addition to these great events and more, we had the absolute pleasure of bringing our “The Golden Time” to the Reston Multicultural Festival and Taiwanese Association of America Greater Washington Chapter’s Gala.

At GDC, we pour our heart and soul into every production. We create to impact, inspire, and brighten lives.  We have a tremendous passion and love for what we do. We are excited to announce that we will be returning to Capital One Hall to open our 2022 – 2023 season. At this very special evening, we will share a full evening length innovative production of “Emergence” in which we will have the privilege of collaborating with world renowned mobile sculpture artist, Kevin Reese in sharing with the audience our brand new work “I Am Here” – we use this unique collaboration of kinetic sculptures and dance to delve into immigrants’ experience of the desire, dreams, struggles, opportunities, and celebration of their immigration to this country. We are also extremely excited to announce our collaboration with acclaimed musician, Chao Tian, who will create and perform an original score for the new work, “A Cup of Tea”, part of our “Emergence”production.

The funds raised during our 7-8-9 Funding Drive ($7,000 by 8/9) will help us cover the production costs of our exciting 2022-2023 season, keeping our artists working and creating to bring excellence in performing arts to the community. We humbly ask for your help in raising the funds needed for this exciting and ambitious production with your tax-deductible contribution. You can help us achieve our goal of raising the needed funds with your tax-deductible contribution.

Please give whatever you can … Every dollar donated will bring us closer to our goal.
TOGETHER, we can keep the curtain up!

We need your help raising $7,000 by 8/9… Thus, 7-8-9!
We all recognize the huge value arts and culture play in our society and how they contribute to the quality of our lives. Since the COVID 19 shutdowns were implemented last spring, we immediately adapted by moving our rehearsals online via Zoom (the very first day after the shutdown). We were dedicated to ensuring that the arts remain part of our lives as well as yours. We conquered the challenges of rehearsing virtually via Zoom and created several brand new works including “Aspire”, “The Golden Time”, and “When the Wind Blows”. We produced ten different streaming video performance films to keep our community connected and reflect upon the tumultuous events over the past year. This past season was our 10th Anniversary Season. To celebrate, we shared the stories of our 10 year journey along with full length stage video productions of our several of original works on our “10th Anniversary Season Virtual Performance and Discussion”.
We have been committed to being ready with high quality works of dance when things return back to ‘normal’. Due to the shutdowns over the past year, all of our in person performances were canceled as performance venues remained closed. This has impacted our funding… At GDC, we pour our heart and soul into every production. We create to impact, inspire, and brighten lives.  We have a tremendous passion and love for what we do and, as venues open back up this fall, we are excited to announce that we will be one of the very first to perform in the stunning, brand new Capital One Hall in Tysons Corner with our full evening production of all new works on October 16, 2021. We humbly ask for your help in raising the funds needed for this exciting and ambitious production with your tax-deductible contribution.
Please give whatever you can … Every dollar donated will bring us closer to our goal.
TOGETHER, we can keep the curtain up!

We all recognize the huge value arts and culture play in our society and how they contribute to the quality of our lives. Since the COVID 19 shutdowns were implemented, we immediately moved our rehearsals online via Zoom (the very next day after the shutdown).  We were dedicated to ensuring that the arts remain part of our and lives and conquered the challenges of rehearsing virtually and created our brand new work “Aspire.”
We are committed to being ready with high quality works of dance when things return back to ‘normal’. Due to the ongoing shutdown, several of our upcoming performances have been canceled as performance venues remain closed.   This is impacting our funding… At GDC, we pour our heart and soul into every production we create to impact, inspire, and brighten lives.  We have a tremendous passion and love for what we do, but we need your support to help us to keep moving forward and keep arts alive.
Before the COVID-19 shutdown, during our 2019 – 2020 season we completed some wonderful performances including our wonderful production ‘Unveil’ at the Atlas INTERSECTIONS Festival.  We were thrilled to tour to New York City for the DUMBO Dance Festival at the Gelsey Kirkland Arts Center.  We also had the pleasure of bringing our Eastern and Western influential work ‘We, The Moon, The Sun’ to the Reston Multicultural Festival and a special Benefits Concert to help support Hurricane Relief for the Bahamas through our Outreach Performance program.
Just as even the darkest night gives way to the eventual sunrise, we will make it through this difficult time. At Gin Dance Company, our mission of Enriching Lives Through Dance has never seemed more meaningful. We have a tremendous passion and love for what we do, but we need your support to help us to keep our artists working and creating to bring excellence in performing arts to the community and keep arts alive. You can help us achieve our goal of raising the needed funds with your tax-deductible contribution.
