With support from the California Arts Council, pateldanceworks (pdw) will use CAC grant funds to cover the costs of our upcoming staged performance of move to the moon, with a particular focus on rehearsal hours for collaborators during the December 2026-September 2027 window. This funding will help pdw continue our upward trajectory as an emerging Bay Area performance organization with committed payroll for our creative collaborators as we begin work on the next artistic project.
