Dear Friends, Family & Community,
I have some exciting news that I want to share with you. I am producing a dance show for the Winnipeg AND Edmonton Fringe Festival (the biggest Fringe in Canada)! As you know this is a big endeavor and your support will make a difference. I have created a fundraising campaign with a website called Fund What You Can, developed by the executive director of the Toronto Fringe:
“The goal of the Toronto Fringe is to provide indie artists with the tools they need to succeed. Crowdfunding has quickly become a major source of revenue for artists. FWYC is an accessible, affordable and arts-based platform. It is a tool that we offer to the indie artist – to help strengthen this inspiring community.”
The dance artists involved, Warren McClelland and Ian Mozdzen, are sharing the expenses, and therefore it is important for me to come up with as many creative ways possible to raise funds. Funding for the arts is scarce and I am realizing the importance of reaching out to my friends, family, and community for support.
Check out my campaign & rewards, and please pass it on! https://fwyc.ca/campaigns/help-us-get-edmonton-fringe-festival
With your help I raised $1500 at our Fundraiser Party in April and now I need to raise $3,000 in 28 days!
Costs involved:
- Rehearsal Studio
- Costumes/Props
- Print Material/Marketing
- Travel/Accommodation
- Artists Fees
Winnipeg Fringe Festival, July 15-26
Edmonton Fringe Festival, August 13-23
Thank you for your ongoing support.
Sincerely,
Alex

Warren McClelland and myself have been developing material with Alexandra Elliott since the new year by independent means. The extra help will allow us to finish the performance we’ve made with enhanced focus. Making performance with these two unique souls has been very rewarding.
