Terrain

hat a year! Personally, creatively, culturally, and politically it is a moment of transformation and growth. Fundraising is never an easy task, but now it truly is harder than ever to find sources of funding for the creation and production of art. But I believe the arts have become more important than ever in this time of upheaval to provide meaningful connections to our communities help us make sense of our world and ourselves. Please join us at one of our five performances and please consider making a donation of any size to help ensure this season surpasses expectations.

In previous years I have relied almost entirely on funding from individuals to fill the gaps between box office and performance fees. This year I have been fortunate to receive a generous pledge from The Lewis Center for the Arts, and have received additional support from Princeton's University Committee on Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences. However, I continue to depend on and am grateful for your financial support, so I hope you will be able to give again or even increase your gift this year. Donations of all sizes are greatly appreciated!

Our goal is to raise $5,000

As I began this letter my table was strewn with the makings of Jasper's robot costume for Halloween fully equipped with LED lighting and copious silver sprinkles. The twins were napping and although were not be the beneficiaries of custom Halloween costumes this year, they are prompting much laughter as they have invented walking on their knees. This fall I began my role as Acting-Head of Dance at Princeton, which has provided an unprecedented opportunity for furthering my vision of dance training within a liberal arts education. Despite the overflow of emails I am enjoying each moment and am grateful for such a unique opportunity.

Thank you so much in advance – it is truly a pleasure to share our dancing with you, and I look forward to seeing you all soon.

Sincerely,
Rebecca Lazier, Artistic Director, Terrain
