COVID-19 Message
Dear AMP Family,
We are heartbroken to let you know that late last week, we decided to postpone AMP's upcoming March show, Number Nine, at The Lab Theater. We made this decision in response to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and out of caution and care for the health, safety and wellbeing of our artists, patrons and community at large.
We know you understand that the first and foremost priority needs to be on the health of our community, state, country and the world. With this in mind we urge you to take care of yourselves and heed any guidelines set by local, state and national governments. Please reference the CDC and Minnesota Department of Health sites for more information.
We hope to reschedule the show for the summer and we are working in concert with The Lab to make this happen. However, it is a situation which changes dramatically everyday, and we will continue to monitor what may or may not be possible. If you have questions regarding tickets you have already purchased, please call The Lab Box Office - 612-333-7977. We would also like to thank MRAC for their administrative support and guidance during this time as things change.
This will negatively impact so many people and businesses in our community. Within this chaos, we are committed to compensating our artists for their time, work and dedication. Ticket income is 20% of AMP's annual budget. We kindly ask that if you are in the position, please support AMP with a tax-deductible donation today to help offset the financial burden this situation has created.
We never imagined being in this situation and making these decisions, but here we are. We appreciate your care and understanding. We urge you to take every precaution to be safe and healthy for everyone - please wash your hands, don't touch your face, and practice social distancing. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact Kristin and I directly, through email (alternativemotionproject@gmail.com).
Wishing you and your families all the best,
Joanna and Kristin

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO MOVE BIG?
Move BIG is more than a tagline- it is AMP's philosophy. Move BIG means more than the large and virtuosic movement that Howe and Lees have been known for. Move BIG is advancing the art form of dance in any way we can. Whether it is through our choreography and performances, collaborations with other artists, engaging audience members, or education and exposure to those in need, we can come together as a community and acknowledge that we serve a purpose that is greater than ourselves.
