Launch of 2012 Sponsorship Campaign

 As we start to form this open collaborative environment that is the 2012 New Creation, we find ourselves needing what every exploration and adventure needs- funding. How do we start? Who do we ask? What do we say? All valid questions. Phase one of our Sponsorship Campaign is going to focus on targeting individuals for private and corporate sponsorships. Have someone in mind that might be interested? Send them our Sponsorship Letter and Donation Form. You can email it, print and ship it, telegraph it, or even do your interpretive dance version of it (please upload to youtube). However you feel, the one thing that must remain consistent is that we are all constantly spreading the word. The more hype and excitement that we can get over the 2012 New Creation, the more people will want to make it happen.

So what is it?

The 2012 New Creation is the future work of Lunge Dance Collective. The plan is for it to be a full evening-legnth work. It is about how development of technology's goal is to bring us closer together but it actually gives us an excuse to further isolate ourselves from one another. We plan to develop this within the theme of the destruction of the silent film era. Using a shorter work already danced by Lunge Dance Collective, the goal is to expand "You'll Never Be Alone" into a 1hr and 15min piece that functions as a silent film itself. I'm fascinated by the over exaggeration of character and gesture within silent film and find it an interesting contrast with our innate response to communication. Playing with concepts of dissolving movement in and out of ridiculousness, the 2012 New Creation's goal is to leave the audience feeling void of character and in want of more, with an echoing reminder that You'll Never Be Alone...

...Here On Earth.
