On Saturday, April 26, Dance Mojave is hosting a fundraiser for their upcoming spring production, THE PLANETS. The event will be a silent auction held at 29 Palms Beer Company, during which attendees can bid on various goods and gifts generously donated by local vendors to support the production. Items up for auction include gift certificates, signed books, vintage items, t-shirts and tote bags donning the production’s logo, and more.
Dance Mojave is a collective of performance artists based throughout the Hi-Desert. Their upcoming performances of THE PLANETS will be held May 9 and 10 at the Sky’s the Limit Observatory in Twentynine Palms; dances are set to the classic orchestral suite by Gustav Holst and original music by Yucca Valley composer Jeremie Levi Samson. Funds raised by the silent auction will help support the unique challenges posed by an outdoor production, as explained by Jenn Henry, the Executive Director of Dance Mojave.
“A production like this is almost like having a theatrical production at a campground. We are building a lot of the infrastructure from the ground up; we have five different sound rigs to make sure that the sound can be heard throughout the site, we’re assembling a stand-alone green room, renting hand washing stations, we’re making sure that everyone will be as comfortable as possible with as many services as possible on site. There are lots of different expenses that are a little bit non-traditional with performances.”
The silent auction fundraiser for THE PLANETS is free to attend and will be held Saturday, April 26, from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the 29 Palms Beer Company. For more information on how to purchase tickets for the upcoming performance, visit https://www.dancemojave.com/
