SPRINGBOARD FOR THE ARTS, St. Paul, Minnesota, as fiscal sponsor for the ensemble MAD KING THOMAS, Minneapolis, Minnesota, received $8,000 in support of the development and production of The Home Project. Springboard is a nonprofit artist service organization whose mission is to cultivate a vibrant arts community by connecting artists with the skills, contacts, information, and services they need to make a living and a life. Mad King Thomas is the choreographic collaboration of Tara King, Theresa Madaus, and Monica Thomas. Known for its sense of humor, delight, and irreverence, Mad King Thomas investigates power, gender, and the possibilities of live performance, opening up discussion, igniting revolution, and subverting the status quo. The Home Project (working title) looks at what it means to make a home, to be far from home, and to make dances in one’s hometown versus in a chosen home or while being far from any home. The trio investigates questions of family, distance, intimacy, belonging, self-determination, accountability, dislocation, longing, the vastness of the United States, and disparities of culture.
