Dear {{Constituent First Name}}, 

Malashock Dance is leaping into 2026 with bold new programming, deeper community partnerships, and a renewed commitment to how essential dance is to the well-being of all people. Your contribution during this season of giving will help ensure this important work continues to grow.

With this exciting momentum also comes an urgent need. Traditional arts funding sources continue to shrink, even as demand for our programs increase. To sustain and strengthen our work, we must raise critical operating support before the end of the year.

In a world filled with many deserving causes, we hope you will remember that the arts are vital to the health and vibrancy of our communities. At Malashock Dance, every gift truly makes a difference—no matter the size.

Fun Fact: Our last campaign raised over $30,000, with an average donation of just $65!

With gratitude,


Molly Puryear
Executive Director

ReGenerate

MAY 2 & 3, 2026
at The Joan Theater

A multi-year initiative, ReGenerate will find innovative approaches to continue the work of Founding Artistic Director John Malashock by commissioning former dancers, composers, scenic designers, and John himself, to reimagine his work for new audiences.

This inaugural ReGenerate is a three-part concert in which founding Artistic Director John Malashock, alongside founding company member Debi Toth and Artistic Director Christopher K. Morgan, restage, reimagine, or create new work based on John’s creative legacy.

Stay tuned for more info soon!
