Dance needs to be performed live on a regular and continuous basis to allow the work to evolve and develop. This keeps the dancers sharp and the work continues to progress through their expression. It also allows company members to grow as they become more adept at the unusual technical demands of Laura Ward's choreography.

We are trying to move toward a full time, regularly producing, performing and touring schedule. Grant writing and fundraising have become # one activities, but due to the ever- decreasing amount of money available to small dance companies in this country, we continue to run with a huge deficit. If you are able to help Laura Ward/Octavia Cup Dance Theatre in any way with INKIND donations, space grants or financial help, we will be eternally grateful. No amount is too small! All financial donations are fully tax deductible. If you wish to contribute money to help Octavia Cup, please email to receive information.

Checks can be made out to: "Foundation 20 21" and earmarked "for Laura Ward/Octavia Cup Dance Theatre." Be sure to include your address so that we may send you thanks and receipts for your taxes.

Thank You!

Laura Ward,
Octavia Cup Dance Theatre
