This season, we’re thrilled to welcome Adam Barruch, Jessi Stegall, and Mark Caserta to create new works alongside Artistic Director Brian Josiah Martinez, with a revival of While We Wait Here by Justin Rapaport, culminating in Boykin THREE—an evening of six diverse dance works to be performed in Chicago, IL in 2026.

But we can’t do it without you.

We’re projecting costs similar to our previous seasons and aiming to raise approximately $22,620 to ensure this project is equitable, sustainable, and accessible.

Projected Expenses Include:

✅ Choreographer Fees

✅ Dancer Stipends:

$500 per week for full-time rehearsal

✅ Rehearsal Space Rental:

$60 per hour in Chicago

Over 100 hours of rehearsal projected ($8,220 total)

✅ Costume Design:

Includes designer consultation and sourcing

✅ Theater Rental (Chicago):

Ann Barzel Theater: $1,500 for one-night performance

✅ Photography and Videography
