A diverse group of dancers in vibrant, eclectic costumes perform on a white stage against a backdrop of a calm sea and a pale sky.

This Giving Tuesday, we are still here!Igniting creative imagination in a landscape with greatly reduced support for the arts, we as artists listen to the living land to learn how to sustain and regenerate during these challenging times. Hunger brings ingenuity: as we reimagine, we find ways to share through movement, art, and shared cultural knowledge—including collaborating with soil restoration researchers to bring dance directly into ecological solutions for the earth and to be sustained by what we grow.For over two decades, Dancing Earth Creations has brought interdisciplinary artists, movers, and cultural leaders together to explore movement as a source of cultural and ecological knowledge, health, and reciprocal world-making. Looking ahead to 2027, our primary goal is raising $50,000 to underwrite our core Summer Immersion program.The Summer Immersion is far more than a training intensive—it gathers artists into a temporary, land-based creative ecosystem. Tending to this core summer program directly nourishes all the ways community invites us to share throughout the year, including:<ul><li>Commissions &amp; Collaborations: Creating site-responsive works for galleries, museums, dried riverbeds, and local healing centers.</li><li>Mentorship &amp; Guidance: Pairing emergent artists with elders, matriarchs, coaches, and dramaturgs to cultivate deep creative processes.</li><li>Eco-Initiatives: Bringing movement rituals to projects centered on water protection, seed sovereignty, solar energy, soil restoration, and mycelial networks.</li><li>International Creative Exchanges: Building global connections centered on shared ecological priorities.</li></ul>How Your Support Makes It HappenYour Giving Tuesday gift directly underwrites three interconnected themes in our cycle of creation:<ul><li>ROOT (Land-Based Learning): Community members explore grounding, restorative eco-somatic movement and attunement, learning from the land through plant medicine, sensory listening, and soil restoration alongside eco-cultural knowledge carriers and somatic teaching artists.</li><li>BLOSSOM (Creative Process): Creatives translate their listening to the land into interdisciplinary movement, sound, and visual art rituals that directly respond to place.</li><li>POLLEN (Creative Archives &amp; Future Possibilities): Creatives explore multidisciplinary archiving with filmmakers and sound designers, alongside generating visual art (collages, mandalas, handmade journals) and installations from organic and repurposed materials. These enduring archives allow ephemeral discoveries to serve educators and communities globally, reinventing touring as engaged community sharing.</li></ul>Where Your Gift GoesYour contribution directly covers essential budget needs for the 2027 Summer Immersion, including:<ul><li>Fair artist and knowledge-carrier compensation (at a modest $25/hr)</li><li>Art-making supplies and natural materials</li><li>Transportation, gas, and food subsidization for participating movers</li><li>Media documentation equipment and archiving materials</li></ul>Donate this Giving Tuesday to sustain a space where artists learn in relationship with the land and share that knowledge through creative practice. Help us reach our $50,000 goal to make the 2027 Summer Immersion possible!
