Open Rehearsal (in search of additional dancers)
The Wake Project has just been accepted to
present a full-hour long show at the 11th Annual Greensboro Fringe
Festival Jan.31st, Feb 1st and 2nd, and we are in need of some
additional dancers. On Friday, Nov. 2nd, The Wake Project will be
hosting an Open Rehearsal to help in that search. An open rehearsal
gives both dancer and choreographer a chance to evaluate the workability
for both parties. Please contact Camerin at thewakeproject@gmail.com
for more information.
Open Rehearsal:
Friday Nov. 2nd from 4:30-7pm
Aris' Heart Studio 1609 Nassau Blvd. Charlotte NC

Belk Charity Sale
Dear Friends
and Dance-Supporters,
The Wake Project is proud to be a part of the Belk Charity Sale on November 3rd, 2012. Proceeds will benefit The KinetiCollective, a subsidiary group of Martha Connerton/ Kinetic Works, formed to bring dancers together as a network community for growth both within the Charlotte dance-arts, as well as, our growing outreach to our many audiences.

The Belk
Charity Sale is one of two sales a year that Belk holds to donate money to
different local charities and non-profit organizations. The KinetiCollective is
using the money raised from the Belk Charity Sale in order to help fund their
upcoming dance concert to be held March 15 – 17 at Actor’s Theater of Charlotte.
The local-based companies collaborating on this event
are: Echo Contemporary Dance Company, Kinetic Works, Streamline Movements, THE
MARK, The Wake Project, and Open Door Studios.
How the Sale Works:
1. Belk is offering a one day charity
sale on Saturday, November 3rd from 6 - 10am (this happens before
store hours normally open).
2. Customers can ONLY get into this special event with a
purchased ticket (tickets are $5 and all money from these tickets go to the
designated non-profit organizations who are selling them).
3. The KinetiCollective will receive
100% percent of the money for tickets sold by our company members (prior to
November 3rd).
4.
Customers who purchase these tickets not only get into this special
event, but are also given back a re-fund of the $5 when presenting their ticket
and paying for their items at the register (so basically,
by purchasing the tickets the customer is “fronting” the money ahead of time
and if they don’t go to the sale, or don’t buy anything, they are out that $5.
But, if they do go to the sale and do purchase items then it is actually Belk
who is donating the $5 to our organization).
Incentives for Customers to Buy Tickets:
1. Entrance into special sale.
2. There is a FREE gift card to the
first 100 costumers at each store location (gift cards will range from $5
-$1,000).
3. Every single item in all Belk stores
(excluding Fragrances and Cosmetics) is 20%-70% off. This includes all
specialty never-on-sale items. Red Dot items will be 45% - 75% off.
4. Customers can earn Double
their rewards points with the use of their Belk Rewards/Premier cards, or Triple
their points with their Elite Card.
How to Purchase Tickets (Please, choose one of the following
choices):
1. Contact Camerin Watson at thewakeproject@gmail.com
The Belk
Charity Sale is really a wonderful opportunity, not only for the organizations
that are being donated to, but also for the vast amount of customers who will
be getting such special limited sales just in time for the start of Christmas
holiday shopping!
Thank you
for all of your support and we hope to see you at our spring concert!

Take Class with Camerin Allgood McKinnon
Camerin Allgood McKinnon, artistic director of The Wake Project is teaching adult modern classes at Open Door Studios for the fall semester. Camerin teaches Safety Release Technique which was created by BJ Sullivan, who is currently a professor at UNCG.
"Safety Release Technique combines the health practicalities of human movement with the breadth and depth of artistic possibility. SRT skillfully blends multiple layers of movement principles while informing dancing with a mixture of somatic and release applications."- BJ Sullivan
Classes begin on the floor developing core strength and ideas of circularity and continuous flow, and slowly move to standing and phrase work. In addition to teaching a technique class, Camerin believes in offering opportunities for students to be artists playing with phrase work and music.
Shin length or longer pants and long sleeved shirts are recommended to protect the skin from the floor.
Classes:
Tuesdays: 10-11:30am
Wednesdays: 7:30- 8:45pm
Class is $15/ $10 for professional dancers/ discount available with the purchase of a class card
