Hi dancers!

We have started planning for our annual Uncaged Adventure to Panama, Central America and we want you to go with us!! 

The past two summers have been a blast. We've partnered with the local studios for workshops, performed in schools, and made many new friends + lasting memories (click here for stories). This year, we want to expand our team.  

We are looking for servant hearted, others-centered, professional level dancers who want to use their skills and art for the greater good while joining their smaller story with a BIG one.
 • must have a strong ballet base
 • some contemporary/modern experience required
 • choreographic and teaching experience is recommended
 • strong artistry/performance quality
 • must be 18 by June 1st, 2015 

Here's the gameplan:
Preceding the adventure, artists come together for a week of training (June 1-7) in which they will:
 • prepare spiritually for the two weeks ahead
 • learn rep
 • teach/take class from each other 
 • develop curriculum for workshops
 • develop confidence in the freedom of their identity as an artist

During the adventure (June 8-21) dancers will:
 • perform Bluebird rep at festivals and other venues
 • take class, perform, and collaborate with local artists
 • teach workshop classes
 • serve/love on the local community

Dates: June 1-21, 2015

Cost: $2000–includes accommodations for entire 3 wks, most meals, and airfare to/from Panama (you will have to get to Atlanta and back home)

Hope to have you join us :-)

PS- for those of you who don't plie, pas de chat and pirouette everyday (or aren't quite old enough to go), we would love for you to partner with us in prayer. Particularly right now in the planning stages for details in logistics, resources, & the perfect team to come together. Thanks for cheering us on!

January/February — we had the incredible honor of being a part of the opener for Passion 2014 in both Atlanta and Houston.

March — we co-produced a show with Refuge Dance Company. Connect used dance to highlight organizations working for social good in our community. We highlighted Wellspring Living with White Umbrella.

April — we supported the #zippypouchproject and were honored to be share our story at the Still Pointe Studios Young Choreographer's Concert

May — we launched an indiegogo campaign to fund the next phase of White Umbrella.  

June — we were featured in the Forsyth County News, closed out the indiegogo campaign, held workshops for the next generation, and hosted the Panama team for a week of training. 

July — our second Uncaged Adventure was busy but beautiful

August — we filmed White Umbrella   

September — 15:6 Collective graciously began to sponsor us for a few months. 

 

October — Caleb continued editing White Umbrella, we posted the trailer and geared up for the release party  

November — we had a great White Umbrella release party with Love Gives Way, Matt Armstrong, and Wellspring Living but decided to delay the online release in order to enter film festivals.

December — West End Performing Arts Center hosted the first ever Uncaged Christmas. 

2014 was jam packed with surprises, adventures, new team members, and last minute come throughs. Each year we are blown away by the stories and details God has orchestrated for Bluebird: uncaged. Some huge things coming down the pipe for 2015 ; may we continue to be attentive to His voice and keep Jesus at the center of it all. Thanks for being on the journey with us.

We're headed to Panama today! Woohoo!!

This week has been a blast in the studio choreographing, team building, laughing, seeking Jesus, and getting to know each other. These girls bring so much creativity, passion, and joy to the table and we're excited to be taking four original works to premiere in Panama. Huge thank you and shout out to our sponsors, Sawnee School of Ballet and Still Pointe Studios for generously donating studio space to our team!

   

 

We've got some blog posts scheduled to go out letting you know what we'll be up to. But be sure to keep up with us on twitter and instagram for the absolute latest. Also, if you would like to have updates emailed to you, sign up here. Thank you so much for being on this journey with us! See ya on July 15. 

 

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms…so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen. ~1 Peter 4:10-11

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for being a part of the White Umbrella campaign; it has been quite the journey. Y'all are seriously the best, it's encouraging to know that we have people behind this project as expectant as we are. Thank you. 

Even though we did not meet our goal, the project is still happening and we are so excited to get to work on it. As of right now, we are aiming to film in mid-August and release the trilogy online late fall (an installment per month). We will definitely keep you posted.

We are heading out of the country on Tuesday on our second Uncaged Adventure to Panama. We will get to work on sending out your perks as soon we get back (July 15). 

Gratefully,

the Bluebird: uncaged team 

 

Coming down to the last week.  This journey has been quite the ride so fare and I'm looking forward to finishing strong. 

In these last 6 days I'm choosing to believe that regardless of the number (even though it would be really cool to exceed our goal), Jesus knows best how this project will most glorify Him. 

Thank you for everything you guys have done so far. Honored to carry this project with y'all. Keep up the social media shares–twitter, Facebook, instagram…

With many thanks,

Rebekah 

And God who is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed…Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multipy your seed for sowing and increase your harvest of righteousness… ~2 Corinthians 9:8,10
