After a successful 1-night stint at the Miniball Festival in March, "Love you Love you Love you" has been invited to the Cannonball Festival* this September!
And I need your help to get it there.
I began creating this solo solo show about dementia, mothering, and legacy almost a year ago. Early individual and foundational giving brought the first iteration of "Love you Love you Love you" ("Lyx3") to Miniball, where it played to over 100 people and received a standing ovation. This summer, the "Lyx3" team heads back into rehearsals to hone in on design, add more movement, experiment with structure, and expand moments of audience interaction. We'll be welcoming 4 new collaborators into our rehearsal process: sound designer, production designer, lighting designer, and stage manager. Our designers will join rehearsals early to push against existing material, provoke new writing from the creator-performer (me!), and create fully fleshed-out designs. Our stage manager will bring essential support and oversight to rehearsals and performances.
In this campaign I'm raising $6500, a portion of "Lyx3"'s overall expenses. This $6500 will pay specifically for a production designer and sound designer and cover the cost of show materials and equipment.
Here's that sum broken down:
$4000: 2 designers fees
$2500: sound equipment, costumes, set, props
So please donate what you can to help bring this bigger, better, buffer version of "Lyx3" to life! Your donation goes straight into the art and to these exceptional artists bringing their exciting visions and new inspiration to this original work.
Spread the word!
Come check out the show in September!
Thank you thank you thank you.
Love you love you love you.
