Hello, hello!

It's Angela again, Director of avec Productions, Inc.

I'm so thrilled to share this month's newsletter with you. avec has spent the past few months:

hosting community-driven programming and educational opportunities designed to support and advance the careers of independent performing artists.

In this edition of the newsletter, you'll find a new blog post, episode 2 of Un-PACKD, (featuring my amazing guest, Alicia Wilder!!), and info on upcoming events (signup links coming soon!).

avec has gone through some recent changes! As we morph into the company we are today, we celebrate the many exciting achievements made throughout the past half-year.

Thank you for being here! I can't wait to dance with you.

Yours in dance,

Angela Vecchione

Thank You for Dancing With Us!!

Ep. 2 of Un-PACKD:

Performing Arts Careers, Knowledge and Discussions

I had the privilege of spending 40 minutes chatting with my incredible guest, Alicia Wilder, Director of Rhode Island's Metamorphosis Dance Company, on Un-PACKD: the interview series with performing artists and arts administrators on careers, creativity and how to balance the demands of our roles in the industry.

avec hopes to respond to the need for more ways for independent artists and audience members to forge deeper connections with each other.

avec envisions crowded dance floors full of professional dance artists grooving alongside, next to and with audience members. Specifically, audience members who are usually poised in their theater seats, invisible behind the veil of blackness a dancer sees when they look out into the house from the stage.

avec's events ask the question, "am I viewing dance or and I doing dance?" with the hope that you answer, "both!"

Coming up later this year...

From The (Roof) Top!, a gala-esque experience with skyline views asks everyone in attendance - professional dancers performing avec's choreography AND audience members - to share space to groove, move and celebrate the experience of dancing with one another.

I'm fortunate to have you here with me on this journey and deeply appreciate your support. Find out more on avecproductions.org
