I am raising money to make my newest work, The undergird, set to premiere in 2018, and I need your support. In this project, I am working with experiences of grief and how to be close with others in a world that is often asking us to come apart.
I truly believe in performance and art as a catalyst for human and community development and cultural change, to create a more humane world. For me, this is personal. My father died in 2010, when I was 29, and my child was born in 2015. Both experiences of two bodies separating changed my understanding of my body, mortality, and what it is to be close and to change together.
To make this work happen, I need to raise $20,000. We can totally do this! I need your help to get there. I keep telling my toddler, Cadence, about persistence, and here we are. I'm reaching out and asking for your tax-deductible contribution to make this happen. Any amount helps, truly. If everyone who receives this call gives $15, we will have achieved our goal. Click below to donate through my fiscal sponsor, Fractured Atlas, or send a check, made payable to Fractured Atlas.
100% - 100%!!!! - of funds raised will go to paying the artists and designers involved and compensating them for their time, their energy, their ideas, their creativity, and what they give to putting art out into the world.

What am I asking you to donate to?
The undergird is a collaborative performance work that explores the performers' relationships to personal loss and grief as it affects our bodies and daily sense of self. It will be created in collaboration with four phenomenal performance makers: Jasmine Hearn, Drew Kaiser, Jungeun Kim, and Annie Wilson.
Why support this?...How to be close with others in a world that is often asking us to come apart
I am urging us - other performers and audience members - to seek a more attuned and practiced relationship to our bodies and an awareness of how each of our privileges, differences, and perspectives inform this relationship; what happens when we share these individual experiences? How can we be together even when our identities are different? When we don’t understand? Or disagree?
The audience will be encouraged to reflect on their own experiences of their bodies, of grief, and of togetherness with others by sharing in the performance moment with us.
I am asking you to sign on to this now, by showing your support for the work and giving a tax-deductible contribution, made payable to my fiscal sponsor, Fractured Atlas. Let's make this happen!
Please follow the project and join us at the September premiere! We are in it together.
With love,
Meg
