Dear STREB Community,
After closing the doors to SLAM on March 15 to support the effort to contain the spread of COVID-19, we began creating our remote engagement plans to bring the ACTION to you. We come to you now with more information on these initiatives as well as some important announcements and updates:
- We will be moving our Action Maverick Award Benefit on May 11, 2020 to the virtual space. While we won’t be able to celebrate our honoree, Joshua Ramus, in person, we are still planning remote festivities and need your support now more than ever. Please stay tuned for information about our online auction, how to join us virtually, and how to support our signature fundraising event of the year as we navigate these uncertain times, and support the live, action-filled future beyond all this.
- Our Home Season performances at SLAM, originally scheduled for May 1-17, are postponed to a date TBD, but stay tuned for how our Action Heroes will be activating the digital space with pop up virtual dances in the meantime.
- Our classes and programming are going remote! Students enrolled in the spring semester will receive direct information about how to access their class materials, so watch your inboxes. If you don’t receive an email, check your spam folders or contact mary@streb.org to verify your email address. Additionally, we will be offering a schedule of classes and virtual events to the public. Watch our STREB Remote page and follow us on Facebook and Instagram for the schedule and other ways to engage with us virtually during this time.
As artists who thrive on performing and teaching live and in person, we do expect some technical bumps and adjustments along the way, and ask you to enjoy these moments as we all transition to the virtual space. We will continuously learn and improve our approach every day. We’re in this together, so thank you for your patience and understanding as we bring you #STREBRemote #HeroesWeNeed #ACTION@Home.
Sincerely,
