Janet Werther/Motion Mix, Janet Werther is a recent graduate of the Sarah Lawrence College MFA under the direction of Sara Rudner. While at SLC Janet had the opportunity to perform in work by Trisha Brown, Susan Rethorst, Donna Uchizono and Meghan McCoy. Her work has been presented at DNA’s Work in Progress, DTW’s College Partnership Program, Movement Research Open Perform, Dance/NOW RAW, and p.art.ies @ the Tank as well as at Buffalo Infringement and most recently with the Rochester Contemporary Dance Collective. Newly formed, Janet Werther/Motion Mix is committed to making dances in which the performers are empowered with creative and physical agency and in which depth of investigation both physically and cognitively is paramount, suggesting nuance in meaning via subtle shifts in context achieved through construction and manipulation of the formal elements of dance making: human bodies moving in time, space, and with energy. RAKIA! is a collective of movers and shakers committed to making over-the-top, character-driven dance work, based in everyday American archetypes. Using humor, hyper-femininity and beautiful bodies bursting over, under and through time and space, the goal of their work is to peel back the layers of the seemingly ridiculous to reveal a kernel of truth. Spearheaded by choreographer Rakia Seaborn, her work has appeared at The Slipper Room, The Tank, Dixon Place, La Mama, etc., and The St. Lawrence Arts Center.
Diana Crum likes to dance. She likes to teach dance too. She has an MFA from Hollins University and a BA from Columbia University. Her work has been shown at a lot of places around town and out of town. More info at www.dianacrumanddancers.org

Dancewave’s pre-professional youth dance ensemble, the Dancewave Company, is raising funds to travel to Scotland to represent the US in the Aberdeen International Youth Festival (July 27th – August 7th, 2010). The Dancewave Company, composed of 16 young people aged 13-18, is the only US group selected to participate this year.
As festival participants, the Dancewave Company will perform at multiple cultural venues over a 10-day period and attend workshop and collaboration sessions with their fellow companies. At night, performing companies will socialize and present informal cabarets to each other, fostering cross-cultural friendships. For the 16 hardworking, New York City teens that make up the Dancewave Company, this will be the experience of a lifetime. For many, it will be their first excursion outside of the US!
The cost of airfare, board, and lodging is more than most of our families can afford. Without travel assistance, most of our students cannot afford to make this trip.
Recently, the Company suffered an additional setback when Dancewave identified fraudulent transactions by a VA-based airfare consolidator involved in booking the Company's plane tickets to Scotland (official statement). The consolidator fraudelently cashed a check for over $8,000 without purchasing tickets. We are pursuing all avenues to recover those funds, but we must now repurchase tickets at a higher rate. We need your help!
