Hi friends,
When I founded Bluebird Uncaged in 2012, I had no idea where this adventure would take me. (Yikes, it’s been twelve years!). From music videos to mission trips, workshops to websites, performances to podcasts — I’m amazed at the doors God has opened. Below are some highlights:
- Multiple international trips
- Hosted students for our workshops and intensives
- Produced an original fairytale ballet that has been running for 10 years
- Performed for a range of audiences, from intimate blackboxes to arenas of more than 20,000 in attendance
- Hosted online Bible Studies for the global dance community
- Traveled stateside to collaborate with friends
- Hosted a community festival, bringing together multiple Atlanta dance companies
Every step of the way, the Lord has been gracious to provide for all these opportunities. And now, He has provided a new opportunity.
But first, some background. Though I do think there are many advantages to non-profit status, Bluebird Uncaged has never been one. I believe that, as a society, we should shift away from the mentality that the arts are a charity and instead view them as a business. The arts shape culture and should be stewarded with the wisdom of any other industry. In other words, though Bluebird is a ministry, it runs like a business. And, where necessary, I use multiple income streams to fund its activity. Okay, back to the opportunity.
I’ve recently agreed to be a Spokesperson / Business Developer for The Perpetual. The Perpetual is an independent mortgage bank that provides residential loans for home purchases and refinances.
My affiliation with the Perpetual does not in any way replace my work with Bluebird Uncaged or in the dance world. Even better, the Perpetual helps to supplement my arts income so that I can have greater freedom and flexibility to run and develop Bluebird Uncaged. This means that if you need a home loan or refinance, I have a team that can do it for you! AND you’ll be supporting artists in the process.
Please know, this is not in any way replacing my work with Bluebird Uncaged or in the dance world. Rather, my partnership with The Perpetual helps supplement my arts income so that I can have greater freedom and flexibility to run and develop Bluebird Uncaged.
Looking forward to seeing where this new collaboration may lead. Feel free to reach out with any questions. Thanks for being on the journey with me.
Much love,
Rebekah
