Become a Partner
Whether by contributing to the Public Station Broadcast, purchasing the film and study guide, or hosting a screening/ presentation, you can be a partner in supporting modern dance and the Dance Currents Inc. mission.
Ways to Become a Partner
1. Public Television Broadcast
Dance Currents Inc. is offering the unique opportunity to gain visibility for your business by serving as an underwriter of the film, To Feel the Earth and Touch the Sky, Living the Legacy of American Modern Dance. Underwriting helps you reach a broad audience of individuals in your area and is a valuable marketing tool that also demonstrates your commitment. Together we can reach 1-3 million viewers.
2. Host a screening / resource presentation
You may also host a screening of the film at a location of your choice, as a fundraiser, as a lunch and learn presentation, or as an educational opportunity for your supporters. This could be a live or virtual screening.
3. Purchase the film and study guide with rights to public screening
You may purchase a DVD of the film along with the Study Guide and the rights to screen it publicly in perpetuity. This is ideal for School/University Libraries as the film was created with classroom materials for educational purposes.
4. Artist Residency: Host a screening with lecture / demonstration and repertory workshop
Treat your students to a more in-depth study of 20th century American Modern Dance. Give them the chance to watch the film, see a performance of 100 Years of Modern Dance, talk to the director and dancers, and learn some of the repertory the film is based on.
5. Donations
For a donation of any size, if requested, your name and/or your company logo will be listed as donors on the Dance Currents Inc. website and on all Dance Currents publicity.
