Volunteer with Jessica Danser/dansfolk

Jessica Danser/dansfolk is a non-profit contemporary dance company founded in 2005. Jessica Danser founded the company with the vision of creating work which is accessible and empowering to non-artists, particularly women and underserved populations, by utilizing abstract movement, text, and dance-theatre to express themes relevant to today’s society, and using individual experience as a microcosm of contemporary life.

JD/df will be presenting three full evening showcases in the Bronx: March 13 and 15 at the Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance-BAAD! and March 22 at Synthetic Zero Art Space. The theme of these evenings, entitled "The Opposite of War," is the physicality of protest and dance’s potential as a tool for nonviolent resistance.

Volunteer needs
(ongoing, with biggest crunch in the month of February)

Assisting with mailings (label sticking etc); posting online announcements on various websites; hanging flyers and distributing postacards in the Bronx and greater NYC area; ironing costumes; burning DVDs.

Computer research/design skills are an ongoing need but not necessary. Familiarity with the internet is a plus. Work can occur in my home office in the Bronx or electronically from the home of the volunteers in some instances. I would be happy to offer volunteers complimentary tickets to the shows.
