Presented by 100 Performances for the Hole: marathon of artistic moments, join us for a 24-hour online dance marathon. Because the entire festival is driven by and for artists, many of whom are now all suffering during COVID-19 lockdown, we are providing this opportunity to dance to directly raise income for the artists in the community and for our participants to also get paid to do so. Up to 60% of funds raised go to support artists NOW. 40% of funds raised go to artist stipends during the upcoming festival, scheduled to launch winter of 2020/2021. (Funds are submitted to Intersection for the Arts the project fiscal sponsor. Click below to make a pledge for each hour a dancer dances or to sign up to dance and raise money yourself.
