Dear Friends,
2020 has been quite an unexpected year, with many twists and turns! As it comes to a close, we are reflecting on all the wonderful opportunities and experiences we are thankful for.

The year started with wonderful performance opportunities alongside local NYC festivals, many exciting plans to expand our NYC educational programs, and a full scheduled tour of our growing project entitled Home - a collaboration with choreographers from around the globe examining issues of identity, human migration, dislocation, and the search for a sense of home.
Of course state-wide closures and lockdown shaped this project in a different way and gave it new-founding, evolving into a dancers pandemic documentary that will be premiered this winter, alongside an all-male trio man/Mother.
Moving programs online allowed for a more direct and different kind of participation, providing an outlet for movement, community, and engagement during the quarantine.
Green Space has also continue promoting dance as a core part of our community, moving to virtual platforms and our newest program (Un)Common Ground, featuring Green Space BIPOC artists in dialogue.
While many of us find ourselves at this new year in our homes - in the stillness, in the quiet, or in the chaos and the unrest, we continue to foster movement, community, creativity, and empowerment.
We are committed to learning together to build a better world.
None of this would be possible if it weren't for you. We ask for your continued, generous, and kind support in bringing this mission to life.
Wishing you a healthy and safe holiday season.
With deepest gratitude,
Valerie Green
