EXHIBIT A
Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre (GHDT) is unique in the Indiana arts community in several
distinct ways and is excited to bring its work to Carmel audiences. GHDT is known for the
incorporation of classical dance forms with traditional, national, and ethnic dance forms. By
bringing audiences a new way to experience the grace and technique of ballet, the strength and
energy of modem dance, and by combining them with the heritage of varied cultures, GHDT
gives audiences a new way to experience dance. Through this unique commitment, opportunities
to explore the literature, music, and legends of other cultures are brought to Indiana audiences.
GHDT is requesting $50,000 to help underwrite the 2012-2013 season including the expenses of
GHDT's second season at The Tarkington at The Center for the Performing Arts. GHDT
presented its first concert of its premiere season, MY GYPSY SOUL, at The Tarkington in
October of 2011 and most recently SUPERHERO; the story of a man called Jesus at The
Tarkington. Both concerts have received accolades and were successful in attracting new
audiences, however, with the company's move to Cannel, some audience members have been
lost. With the production of SUPERHERO, audiences have requested that this become an annual
Easter tradition at The Tarkington. Expenses in the new venue are high and GHDT is a
professional company so artists are compensated for 40-45 weeks of work per season.
Additional funding from the community, foundations, grants, and ticket sales are used to cover
production costs for all concerts throughout the season. All funding from the Arts Council of
Indianapolis and other Indianapolis-based support was stopped in 2009 when GHDT made the
commitment to make Carmel and Hamilton County its artistic home. GHDT is continuously
searching for additional funds within the Carmel community to take the place of lost funds.
By performing at The Center for the Performing Arts, Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre strives to
broaden the community's knowledge of GHDT and its programming, as well as enabling
Cannel, Hamilton County and Central Indiana the opportunity to experience professional dance
through the exciting and brilliant theatrical performances of GHDT. The company continues to
search for opportunities to reach into the community and energize our audiences about the arts —
especially dance, and to educate and inspire through thought-provoking and timeless tales.
GHDT is a professional modern dance company that has employed dancers in Cannel and
Hamilton County since 1998. While GHDT has had the opportunities to tour and perform
overseas, around the country and throughout Indiana, Carmel officially became the company's
home in the fall of 2009. After years of discussion with local city officials and plans developed
to become the professional resident dance company at The Tarkington, GHDT established itself
in Carmel with a new rehearsal space and Academy adjacent to The Center for the Performing
Arts. GHDT is excited to be a part of the new center and proud to be able to bring an
international, as well as local reputation for inspiring, theatrical, and moving productions to the
city of Carmel.
The 2011-2012 season concludes on June 29 & 30 with THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE
DAME at The Tarkington. The Board of Directors of GHDT is partnering with a fundraising
professional consultant to continue its search for new and additional funding for expenses of the
remaining concerts in the 2011-2012 season and for future productions.
GHDT brings years of experience in artistic excellence with the production of stunning concerts
to Carmel and The Center for the Performing Arts. Artistic excellence is the ability to bring
feelings and experiences to audiences through the deep exploration of the art from. For GHDT,
this is through dance. GHDT strives to communicate to its audiences through music and
movement, the intensities of human emotion and experience. Through multi-level story- telling
and the exploration of the physical boundaries of the body and how to move past them, GHDT
aims to impact each and every audience member with an emotional response and a revived
appreciation of the ability of the human body to express beauty, tragedy, death, love, and
triumph. Artistic excellence is achieved through dedication, hard work, perseverance, and
tenacity. Artistic excellence is possible when challenges become opportunities and adversities
are turned into occasions for growth. GHDT has continued to connect with Indiana audiences, as
well as audiences around the world, because of the passion of the director, dancers and Board to
persevere and thrive. It is through this dedication that the gifts of GHDT can be brought to
audiences at The Center for the Performing Arts and the community of Carmel and to continue to
enrich Central Indiana.
In addition to GHDT's professional theatrical programming and concerts, GHDT's programming
for youth and educational programs continues to impact students and student dancers throughout
Central Indiana starting with its annual all-student production of THE NUTCRACKER each
December. Summer intensive workshops and the year-round training Academy offers excellent
training plus performance opportunities. Through its pre-professional student company (G2),
young dancers who are aspiring and training to become professional dancers have opportunities
to learn and perform GHDT repertoire and to work with the professional dancers of GHDT.
The 2012-2013 begins in October at The Tarkington with the presentation of BY REQUEST, a
concert of pieces selected by patrons from an online survey. December features the annual
contemporary production of THE NUTCRACKER, presented at the Pike Performing Arts Center
(The Tarkington is NOT available for GHDT in December) by G2 and students of the Academy
of GHDT. Every February the company presents a series of cabaret-style concerts at the
Academy of GHDT. In April the company is back at The Tarkington with UNDER THE BIG
TOP, a story of a traveling gypsy circus. The 2012-2013 season will close at The Tarkington in
June with LEGENDS OF THE INDUS RIVER, a concert inspired by the culture of the Indus
River through India and Pakistan.
