FROM THE FOLKS AT DANCE/NYC:
“We are proud to have facilitated support for so many dance making organizations in the first round of the relief fund, which was created to help to alleviate immediate pressures due to COVID-19, prioritizing those most immediately impacted by white supremacy and systemic oppression,” said Alejandra Duque Cifuentes, executive director of Dance/NYC. “But there is still work to be done. We received an astounding number of applicants for the initial iteration, and a new round of funding will provide much needed support to our dance making community as we continue in our road towards recovery.” The recipients of the first round of the Coronavirus Dance Relief Fund for Dance Making Organizations, which will each receive one-time awards of $2,500-$5,000, are: Abby Z and the New Utility Alpha Omega Theatrical Dance Company Bombazo Dance Co, Inc.

FROM THE FOLKS AT LINCOLN CENTER:
Moss’s 27-Year Tenure Marked by More Than 100 Commissions and 300 Premieres After nearly three decades providing artistic leadership at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Jane Moss will step down from her post as Artistic Director effective August 1, 2020. Her time with Lincoln Center has included spearheading a number of new initiatives and exciting new directions, including broadening the organization’s international reach, supporting the creation of innovative and diverse new works and repertoire, and expanding audience experiences through multi-disciplinary collaborations, immersive experiences in nontraditional venues and settings, and expanding free presentations and participatory events. “This decision to step down is, of course, full of sadness. Lincoln Center has been my artistic home for twenty-seven years. Nevertheless, I had begun to consider moving into a new chapter of my life prior to the pandemic. But the multi-year/multi-track cycle of programming never allowed time for a responsible departure and smooth transition,” said Jane Moss. “Now that our current situation has put a pause on live programming, I feel I can step down. I am eager to make a new kind of contribution to the life and well-being of New York as we face very challenging times ahead.” “Jane Moss is an extraordinary leader and visionary. Her tenure has been a true gift to Lincoln Center, New York City, and the arts community broadly,” said Henry Timms, President and CEO of Lincoln Center. “Her work is not only impressive in its breadth and scale – with over 300 premieres and 100 commissions under her leadership – but impactful in its substance and ability to build bridges between cultures from around the globe. Jane’s legacy will be felt here at Lincoln Center and beyond well into the future. It is with a heavy heart that we extend deep gratitude for all she has given us.” “I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jane for the entirety of my time with Lincoln Center. Her brilliant programming has brought so much to our City. She has provided millions of audience members joy and inspiration, and given countless artists from all disciplines and backgrounds one of the world’s greatest stages on which to share the very best of themselves,” said Katherine Farley, Chair of Lincoln Center’s Board of Directors. “On behalf of my fellow Board Members and all who value Lincoln Center and our programs, I extend heartfelt appreciation for Jane’s artistic leadership.” READ MORE HERE From Wanjiru Kamuyu // WKcollective: Dear friends, Despite these precarious times, I do hope this finds you well.
