Project Start Date <br />(no earlier than July <br />1, 2023) <br />September 1, 2023 <br />Project End Date (no <br />later than June 30, <br />2024) <br />June 30, 2024 <br />Project Goals This project will allow us to achieve several goals that align with the <br />Footnotes mission to promote, preserve, and perform the American art <br />form of tap dance through ensemble concerts, community performances, <br />and tap workshops. <br />First, the project will bring the work of a contemporary tapper to the local <br />community. Although the tap community in Orange County is vibrant and <br />rich in talent, there are limited opportunities in any given year for the <br />general public to engage with high-caliber performers at minimal cost. <br />Second, the project will expand the Footnotes repertoire. Having a large <br />and diverse repertoire allows Footnotes to bring unique performances to <br />the residential audiences that we visit multiple times per year, including <br />retirement communities, long-term care facilities, and hospitals. These <br />residents greatly appreciate the thought and care that we put into making <br />each show a one-of-a-kind event. <br />Third, the project will support the dance and local music communities. The <br />dance community is supported both through the engagement of <br />professional tap dancer in the capacity of choreographer, teacher, and <br />performer as well as by bringing a tap-centric performance to Orange <br />County. The music community is supported by the involvement of local <br />musicians in the performance, which offers an opportunity for the <br />musicians to bring their music to a potential new audience as well as <br />fostering the connection between the local dance and music communities. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: EF1143BC-A16C-4CBC-9A67-8394E5952E55
