SERVICES
At this time in the dance field, two opposing realities are true: 1) equitable and fair pay is vital for all collaborators 2) funding and grant/ presenting opportunities are limited and competitive. This dynamic has seemingly caused a pattern where artists have started to rely on institutional support to create. A project doesn't happen unless a grant is awarded, a residency is given, the liquid resources become available.
​
Dance requires space, time, and people to create, so this pattern makes sense! However, artists should not have to be administrators for their work. I offer my services as an attempt to help artists feel empowered to create within or outside of traditional funding/ presenting structures.
These offerings can function like an a-la-carte menu: Pick 1 or pick many. I'll send you an individualized quote that most suits your project and gives you a sense of what each service will entail.
Project Budgeting & Tracking
We'll anticipate costs and develop a plan to secure the income to end your project in the green. You'll receive a strategic budget with contingency plans, cashflow estimates, and actuals tracking.
​
Fundraising & Event Planning
We'll talk through public fundraising, private solicitations, and general how-to's of asking people to support your work. If you want to have a special event to help fundraising, we'll talk through possible formats and add-ons including raffles, auctions, peer-to-peer campaigning, and more.

Grant Writing
Have a grant you think you're eligible for but don't know where to start? Have a project you know needs funding but can't find an opportunity? I'll help you write Letters of Interest to private foundations, full government grants, and take care of the reporting process.

With years of company management experience, I can help get your project organized so all collaborators are on the same page and your work can be your focus. Suitable for a performance, residency process, film production, or outreach engagement.

PRICING
I offer tiered pricing depending on the scale and duration of the project, and the financial demonstrated need of each client. My sliding scale starts at 1/2 of what I value my time and work to cost. This tiered system is not a deal or steal! I am only able to show up for those who need to use the lower tier because folks with greater access to funds show up by paying at the higher tier. I use surplus from higher paying clients to allow for a limited number of free planning or strategy sessions for low-income artists. This is an opportunity to show up for each other and support the field from within! Payment plans are available and will be determined once we decide on the project scale.
Tiers
1.
At tier one, you pay half of my typical rate, all services will be provided for at $15/hr
2.
This is my standard rate of $30/hr.
3.
This tier is 50% higher than my standard rate. If you have the funds and wish to help fuel this little ecosystem, this $45/hr rate is for you
Email me with some information about what you're looking for and I'll get back to you with a price quote based on your selected tier!
