1 Dear Mayor Brainard:
Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre (GHDT) would like to request financial support from
the City of Carmel to support its arts programming.
GHDT is professional modern dance company based in Carmel, Indiana. The company
rehearses daily from 9:00 AM until 3:00 PM at the Performer's Edge, located at 12955
Old Meridian Street in Carmel. G2, the "pre professional" student company of GHDT
rehearses 3 days a week at the same Carmel location.
In addition to the daily rehearsals of the professional company and the weekly rehearsals
of G2, the company has numerous activities in Carmel. Annually during the month of
February, the professional company presents a series of nine concerts during three
weekends in Carmel at The Performer's Edge. The company's daily rehearsal space is
transformed into a "black box" theatre where patrons have an "up -close and personal"
view of dance in a cabaret style setting. This is an extremely popular program of GHDT
and is always a sell -out. This year the company will present DOWN ON THE BAYOU
featuring music of Louisiana from February 13 through March 1.
G2, the student company, presented their debut concert last May at the Performing Arts
Center of Carmel, located at 575 West Carmel Drive. This May G2 will present their
annual concert again at this Carmel location.
Two of the company's most financially successful programs, THE NUTCRACKER and
the SUMMER DANCE ACADEMY also take place in Carmel. For a period of three
months over 100 young dancers rehearse for the annual production of THE
NUTCRACKER at the company's daily rehearsal space in Carmel. The production itself
is presented at the Pike Performing Arts Center. During the summer, the company offers
an intensive Summer Dance Academy. This workshop features a professional faculty
comprised of professionals from GHDT as well as international guest teachers. Several
students from the Riga Choreographic School in Riga, Latvia also attend the workshop.
The company has developed an exchange relationship with this prestigious European
dance school. Annually, the workshop serves over 100 young dancers.
A large percentage of participants in the programming of GHDT (including audience
members) are Carmel residents.
GHDT would like to respectfully request $50,000 to assist with operating costs of all of
GHDT's programming.
Sincerely,
Gregory Hancock
Artistic Director, GHDT
