Support Finding Space, my first evening-length work on including those with identities historically and currently left out of the stories of space science and STEM. Phase 3 supports choreographic development.

Finding Space was an idea that was sparked in 2019. This concept started as a multipart series focusing on Women in STEM and was in development when the pandemic began in March 2020. During lockdown, the idea continued to grow and Space, the first iteration of this series, was born first over video and then in the round in a live performance.
Over time, the other sections of this series took a step back as the idea of space grew. Soon the concept for Finding Space was born though it took years for the name and full vision to come. The focus on space was highly interesting and representing more identities became important in telling this story since many people shared and share similar plights.
Finding Space is now in progress with the goal of telling the history and current stories of people who identify as women, people of color or BIPOC, queer, trans, nonbinary, parents, and all who have contributed but have not received the recognition for their work or had to fight harder for it. This piece is currently in process with plans to arrive at an evening-length performance in Fall of 2025.
The experimentation we worked on in Phase 2 now moves into setting work with input from the dancers. The inital number of pieces is 17 new works including work from a guest choreographer. The results of this work will be 45 minutes to 1.5 hours of work set for an evening length piece. There will be the opportunity to see this work in progress through performances featuring excerpts of the work in progress and free open studio presentations.
