Rebecca Blunk Fund awardee 2019
I'm honored to be one of the awardees for New England Foundation for the Arts' Rebecca Blunk Fund in 2019, alongside Orlando Hernández and Geo Neptune, and past awardees including Vermont dancers Christal Brown and Lida Winfield.
This award will help support development of A Singular They. Thank you, NEFA!
About the award: The Rebecca Blunk Fund was established in memory of Rebecca Blunk (1953-2014), celebrating her 29 years of service to NEFA and her abiding passion for the arts.
