Over the past seven years, Columbia Ballet Collaborative (CBC) has grown as a vital part of the arts community at Columbia University and in New York City as a whole. Since its inception, CBC has periodically presented new works, featuring up-and-coming choreographers in the New York City area. These performances are essential to the Collaborative’s mission. We are proud to provide resources for our choreographers and to continue to expand the Outreach Program in which we visit elementary schools to teach beginner ballet classes. In past years, Miller Theatre graciously allowed us to perform free of charge; however, budget restructuring requires that CBC now has to pay for the use of our campus theatre. While we are grateful for the support that the university does provide for us, unfortunately it does not provide us with nearly enough funds to cover our financial burden. Without the support of generous private supporters, it will no longer be possible for CBC to present new shows both at Miller Theatre and other theatres in the New York City. We therefore ask you or your company to please consider becoming a Friend of CBC. Friends of CBC will be listed in the program to thank you for your support. In addition, Friends of CBC at the ‘PhD level’ and above will receive a tax-deduction. Please note that even though donations will be categorized by amount, any amount will be gladly accepted and greatly appreciated. Please do not hesitate to contact us at columbia.ballet.collaborative@gmail.com with any questions. For more information about CBC and all that we do, you can also visit our website at www.columbia.ballet.collaborative.com. Thank you for your consideration of Columbia Ballet Collaborative.
