Dear Friend of Eveoke,
Eveoke’s journey in the last year has been one of invigorating transformation where leadership has evolved and flourished in wonderful collective ways. We created a new home in North Park with the generous support of our community who recognized the value of having a place to call home…where we can work, create, and continue to pass on the movement ideals that make Eveoke so unique. In this new space we have refreshed our vision to use dance as a medium for cultivating compassionate social action. Through our core values of access, intention, and collaboration we have seen new and unique partnerships emerge as we strive to genuinely walk our mission…every day.
Our core programs…
~Evocative Performance~
Our 2008 Season includes two original dance theatre works. Soulos…Green, a choreographic collaboration by long time Eveoke artists Ericka Aisha Moore and Yvonne Hernandez just completed a fantastic run at the Tenth Avenue Theatre. We round out the year with a winter dance production that explores the “spirit of giving” with A Christmas Carol twist through the unique and powerful lens of hip-hop.
~Arts Education~
Eveoke’s Outreach Education programs have been sold out all year! We nurture the artistic talents of over 3,500 youth weekly. Our talented team of 12 Teaching Artists is running an astonishing 52 classes per week in after school programs and in-school residencies on top of the 25 classes offered weekly at our North Park studio. All programs assure complete access to dance regardless of ability to pay.
~Community Building~
This summer will be our 12th year producing Celebrate Dance Festival in Balboa Park. We are also in our third season of presenting bi-annual Outreach Days—an opportunity to bring students together from all over San Diego to dance and perform in a friendly and supportive environment.
To achieve all this…we need YOUR help!
These programs and their accessibility could not be realized without our donors, those who give to the Rainbow Over Eveoke. Your new or continued support will help us fund these programs that benefit our community and have a positive impact on the lives of children as well as adults. The colors in our Rainbow blend together to provide critical support…choose your color today!
Sincerely,
Nikki Dunnan
Executive Director
