This year, and beyond, our goals through these activities are:
- To lead in our values in accessibility, particularly for patrons and community members affected financially by COVID-19. This includes increasing stipends for personnel and removing financial barriers for patrons.
- To maintain and increase AMP’s presence in the dance community and the Twin Cities during the pandemic. This includes providing more community events, resources, and programs, especially for area dancers/artists.
- To make AMP more equitable, internally within the organization and externally within our activities and focus. This includes the start of a Community Fund that is specifically allocated to improving AMP and increasing awareness regarding racial equity and justice, at large and within dance. Our statement on systemic racism can be found on our homepage.
- To remain flexible and adaptable to the ever-changing nature of our world and resources. We will act with the utmost safety and health in mind for all involved.
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 a purpose greater than ourselves.
