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 directly to teaching artists with no participants turned away for lack of funds. A few artists have generously donated their time, directing payment either toward freeskewl itself, freeskewl’s Reparations Initiative, or other organizations. The artists get to choose where proceeds go!
freeskewl administrators work a combined total of 90-100 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 series, support special programming, and MORE!
It is time to think about sustainability.
Contributions to freeskewl cover website costs, Rev Live Captions, and the freeskewl Zoom account. After these monthly costs are covered, they are divided among freeskewl administrators based on hours worked. Help us continue to support our artist community.
