Editor’s Note: Indiegogogo!

Lisa Kraus

Who knew that May was the season for fundraising? Just as June is all about weddings, May seems to be when the Philadelphia dance community asks you to come dance in a Marathon (at the Performance Garage) or at a hot Latin fest (Cinco de Miro) or to enjoy a Cabaret (Nichole Canuso). Other folks are raising money through crowd-sourcing for wonderful upcoming productions. We hope everyone meets their fundraising goals!

If thINKingDANCE is also asking for your contributions what sets us apart? It’s this – we are serving all of those organizations and companies and more.

What will our campaign fund? Pay for writers, editors, workshop leaders and workers on its Education scheme and Editorial Board along with some needed web upgrades.  In the simplest terms: we need to pay our people. Get the details and donate to our Indiegogo campaign here. Thank you!

Dance Leadership by the Numbers

Jennifer Passios

A Conversation with Elizabeth “Liza” Yntema of Dance Data Project®

At the RISE 2025 Summit held at the New York Library for the Performing Arts, panelists for a discussion entitled “Data is Revolutionary” gather in black office chairs with silver legs in front of a large projector screen that reads “Dance Data Project, Harriet Tubman Effect Institute, & Women Count” in a pastel blue above the title “Data is Revolutionary” in a light yellow. Six circles containing the headshots of the panelists dot the rest of the projection. Amidst the other seated speakers, Nancy Owen stands holding a microphone in her right hand. She leans forward toward the audience, eyes alight, mouth open in speech that slips through an excited smile. In the lower left corner of the frame, a bald man in a crisp blue suit brings the crook of his thumb and second finger to his chin at stage right. He looks out toward the audience with his chair angled away from the six panelists.
