Seeking support for my new musical
Hi everyone! Some of you know that in my life outside the dojo, I am a musician, teaching artist, and composer. For the past 10 years, I've been working on the pieces of a musical about technology, queer liberation, and self discovery. These pieces are finally coming together with a production this July at The Tank in Manhattan.
I'm seeking support to pay the artists who will be bringing the show to life in this production. Specifically, we are running a crowdfunding campaign to raise $20000 for the artist-pay budget. We've received pledges for 20% of the goal, and we have three weeks to make it the rest of the way. If you want to make a pledge to help out, our campaign is on Seed&Spark.
If you want to support but don't have the capacity to do so financially, please hit me up and let me know! Support can also take other forms. I can be reached by email (Elle.lagalante@hey.com), text (516-319-9461), or here on the forum.
Thanks y'all 💜

One last update! First and foremost, I want to say thank you to Kenta, Sean, and our Senseis for their pledges since my last comment.
Second: There are three days left in the campaign! If you want to financially support Infinite and its team of queer multidisciplinary artists in advance of our July production, now is the time to do it!
Finally, I want to share this information: I am ALL IN on this production. To that end, l will be personally covering any funding shortfall after the campaign ends, if there turns out to be one, to make sure the artists get paid. Any financial help I can receive from my community in these last three days will make a huge difference to the next six months of my life!
So thanks for considering! Hope to see you soon.
