“There’s much else to admire about Mr. Millepied, who was a star dancer at New York City Ballet; he’s also made many ballets for that and other companies, as unalike as his Los Angeles dancers. His choice of Cunningham, Mr. Peck and Mr. Naharin shows his brilliantly hybrid taste.

“Perhaps there’s only one important thing wrong with Mr. Millepied. Alas, it’s a central thing: he choreographs, a lot, and never memorably...” -----

“If it wasn’t for his own creations, I’d call Mr. Millepied — enterprising, chic, unpredictable, modern — a very considerable force for good in the dance world. But he’s been making consistently unimportant dances for many years now. They’re what stop the L.A. Dance Project from becoming an important company.”

“In this episode of DanceCast, Silva interviews Sandra Paola Lopez Ramirez, a Columbian-American dance artist who reaches a host of populations through her improvisational dance practice. Her work is characterized by the exploration of relationship, gender, race, identity, awareness, kinesthetic listening and touch. Driven by her passion for social justice, she co-founded in2improv, an organization that empowers under-served communities through improvisation and performance. In this podcast, she descries how she became empowered to do socially conscientious work, and discusses several of the programs she has initiated.”

Cliff Brody claims he can barely execute a box step. But he's looking to raise more than $5 million for dance. The retired diplomat and businessman says, "I was struck by the extraordinary entrepreneurial efforts that these artists have: the creativity, the risks, including the physical risk. And the reality of learning that among the three areas of performing arts—music, theater and dance—dance is by far the least funded."

He founded the National Performing Arts Funding Exchange in 2016 to find more money for dance from nontraditional sources. NPAFE recently announced its three-year, $5,750,000 campaign that will funnel funds straight to performing artists throughout the United States. There will be no "middle man," Brody says.

Using the sports marketing model, where major brands advertise to capture the sporting fan market, NPAFE will target corporate underwriters for various dance organizations. Brody is convinced that companies will jump on the bandwagon to put their names behind dance and other performing arts groups. He cites statistics he culled over the past year: More than half of performing-arts ticket buyers said they would "almost always" or "frequently" purchase from a sponsoring corporation, while only about one-third (36 percent) of National Football League fans would purchase products based on sponsorship.

NPAFE offers an online clearinghouse of independent and small dance companies and individuals. Independent artists can enter their information, marketing materials and video on the website's Indie Performing Artists Gallery and Moving On Up Gallery to reach a larger audience—and potential funders.
