Hi there. I too am distressed that I can't offer more. But I am offering a free stage with lighting and in a venue of a respectable size with marley (vinyl) floor. As a ballet choreographer myself, I am eager for this kind of opportunity and would gladly be produced and mentored without any stipend. I am awaiting an ACE grant and if/when it is received there will be a stipend. I had to be honest about it though. And I am encouraging recent grads since that makes everyone more comfortable but I will mention I know well-respected professionals whoa re interested. (Susan Jaffe had a work in my NYC programme.) Really, no need to be so ungracious. If you can't contribute in any useful way... Have you read any of the press on women getting any chances at all to show work on pointe? Don't assume that anyone else is making any money on this. I will be paying for it out of my own savings if the grant doesn't come through. No wonder people don't want to put themselves out there. At least I am making the effort. Who else is? FCC and ...? P.S. The theatre is also donating the space.
