Fiscally Sponsored by Fractured Atlas
Brooklyn Studios for Dance (BkSD) is facing two emergencies:
- Our landlord, Cadman Memorial Congregational Church, is attempting to evict us by declaring our Occupancy Agreement is invalid.
- The Church has been providing limited or no heat and electricity since mid-November preventing us from operating.
We are raising $15,000 in Emergency Funds to help us cover:- Legal Expenses- $11000
- Replacement Venue Rentals Costs - $2000
- Lost Income - $2000
How BkSD started
In April of 2015 BkSD Partnered with Cadman Memorial Congregational Church to renovate and repair their 2nd floor gymnasium and establish a community dance studio.
Collaborating with the Church
Our first season culminated with a Collaborative Holiday Event organized by BkSD and the Church which included performances, a candlelight service, a shared meal and a tree lighting. In January 2016 we signed a 5-year Occupancy Agreement with Church Board of Trustees.
Since then the Church Leadership has gone through a transition. They no longer want BkSD to remain at Cadman Church and have challenged the legitimacy of our original agreement. In the past year and a half we have dealt with sporadic lock-outs, eviction threats, and loss of heat. Our attempts to mediate with the Church have not succeeded and they are pursuing eviction of BkSD in Local Civil Court.
Information on Court Hearings will be in the UPDATES section of the this Fundraiser.
Among those who support BkSD's efforts to remain at Cadman Memorial Church are former board members Susan Pierce, Bea & Ernest Augustus, State Assemblyman Walter P. Mosley, City Council Member Laurie Cumbo. Will you join them in supporting us as we address our pressing concerns?
Join us January 19th at 8pm @ BkSD for our Fundraising Event: An evening of short acts on short notice. Note: if heat has not been restored, we will find another neighborhood venue. Stay tuned.
BkSD has been a home to dozens of community members with projects like these:

Spontaneous Duet, w/ Lance Gries & Judith Sánchez Ruíz
