On March 17, 2020, freeskewl began hosting online movement classes. Working in response to an urgent, seemingly-short-term crisis (the COVID-19 pandemic), the initiators (Sofia Engelman, Anna Maynard, and Em Papineau) did not think about sustainability at all when devising freeskewl's structure of operations.
freeskewl prioritizes artists and creates access. Income from classes is paid at a sliding scale rate with no participants turned away for lack of funds.
freeskewl administrators work a combined total of 30-100 hours per month to make freeskewl happen. This group of young dance artists have worked on a weekly basis to monitor classes, support freeskewl's Reparations Initiative, keep up with bookkeeping, organize and assist with promotion of programming, devise freeskewl's performance and artist talk series, support special programming, and MORE!
It is time to think about sustainability.
