In 2018-19, Liss Fain Dance created three productions presented in October at Z Space, in November as part of the RAWdance Concept Series at the War Memorial Opera House, and in May at Z Space. Marketing and technical support were provided by both Z Space and RAWdance. In these productions, the company continued its extensive outreach focused on letter writing; the company asked participants to reconnect with someone they have lost touch with, to understand how we connect the past to the present. The company used all social media platformseBlasts, Instagram, Facebook, Twitteras well as asking people at the start of the performances to write notes. These letters were incorporated into the performances as well as into the companys December workshop/audition at ODC. The letter writing initiative was also the basis of the companys workshops at 826 Valencia, a San Francisco organization that supports literacy and arts in young people. The decision to present three works in one fiscal year, two of which were evening-length, grew from the strength of the audience response to the FY18 production and the positive community feedback from the letter-writing initiative. These projects were a development of a theme. With the support of the board, the decision was made to push ahead financially and artistically in this fiscal year, and to refrain from performances the following year in order to fully develop pertinent projects that combine outreach with performance. Partial support for the companys workshops with elementary and middle school students at 826 Valencia is provided by the Kellogg Foundation and individual fundraising. 148797 148797 Elizabeth Fain President 40.00 0 Rob Semper Treasurer 1.00 0 Lynn Rankin Secretary 1.00 0 Julie Reinganum Director 1.00 0 false false false false false false false false 0 0 false false CA Elizabeth Fain 26 Seventh Street 5th Floor San Francisco CA 94103 4153809559 false false false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 153075 250750 116400 97820 159800 777845 0 0 153075 250750 116400 97820 159800 777845 666886 110959 0 0 0 777845 0.14260 0.17070 X Prior Year Facts and Circumstances: As a result of large contribution from substantial contributors, taxpayer's public support percentage for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 as calculated under IRC 509(a)(1) 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) is 17.07%.
