Many Warm Thanks!

Dear Friends,

Two weeks out and we are still basking in the glow of the warm love and appreciation you showered upon us as we shared with you the first section of Aawara, la Vagabonda, as well as the deeply moving butoh pieces presented by Judith Kajiwara, in our joint production we called Desires and Desiderations. For those of you who were able to come to the show we thank you for your presence. For those of you who simply sent us your good vibrations and best wishes know they were amply received. Everyone’s support has been invaluable to us and we are very grateful.

We are looking forward to developing sections two and three. We’ve received so much encouragement we feel compelled to continue forth. For this we are auditioning male dancers skilled in tango, contact improvisation, or flamenco. We also need a grantwriter and/or a fundraiser, and perhaps a development director to make our work sustainable. Please feel free to refer anyone you may know for any of these roles. Many thanks in advance.

I extend a special thanks to those of you who threw in an extra contribution for the musicians who were playing in this production without pay. One friend threw money into the hat even though he was unable to attend the show! We are touched by your generosity. Anyone who feels like making a contribution towards the continued development of Aawara, la Vagabonda or is simply eager to see the next sections on stage, please feel free to contribute through the link on our website: https://jypsyjays.net/support/

With much gratitude,

Jaysi, Ben, Aharon, Swami, Leslie
