Isadora Duncan Award for Best Ensemble and Special Achievement Award.BIPOC Sanctuary "The Sanctuary" - studio rentals, ongoing dance training (2024) and residencies. We are committed to finding new ways to sustain little seen or heard artistic voices in the dance field by providing an affordable rehearsal and workshop space, so in 2023, we founded the BIPOC Artists Sanctuary & Enrichment Network, better known as the Sanctuary at 447 Minna Street in San Francisco. PUSH teamed up with the Community Arts Stabilization Trust in order to build out a newly designed 2400 sq ft space complete with a convertible studio, workstations and offices. The Sanctuary houses classes, rentals and artists residencies year round. Two new residences were formed, the Hip Hop Residency & Training and the BASE Residency. Hip Hop Artist Residency & Training (HART) a 4-month residency provided to 3 artists that provided training and performance opportunities to young adults (ages 18 and up) with aspirations to build a career in Hip Hop theater & the performing arts, with emphasis on addressing racial equity and social justice. The program culminated in a collaborative performance by the Resident Artists at the Bayview Opera House on February 11th, 2023 and March 23rd, 2024. Each HART Resident received an opportunity to engage in their particular area of interest/expertise within the three elements of Hip Hop: dance, music, and visual art and were paired with a mentor. Residents received a stipend, access to studio space and recording studios and workshops to build their skills. BASE Residency for 5 resident artists - engaged five early-career dance and performance BIPOC & QTBIPOC teaching artists in artistic and pedagogical activities that empower them to engage with their community at large, lead performance workshops and ultimately create a final performance. Each resident was supplied with a stipend, studio space and time and mentorship and guidance. Residents designed and crafted a series of 5 workshops in their respective styles and disciplines,(See Schedule O) 229324 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 21 0 true 21 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 5 3 true false false false false false false true false false false true true true true true true true true false CA X Raissa Simpson 4158007943 447 Minna Street 3rd Fl San Francisco CA 94103 Raissa Simpson ArtisticDir-CEO 15.00 0.00 X X 42996 0 0 Kai Curtis Board President 1.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Tamika Chanier Vice Chair 1.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Mariah Halperin Secretary 1.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Brian Simpson Treasurer 1.50 0.00 X X 0 0 0 42996 0 false false false 0 288320 3049 291369 Peformance&Class Revenue 900099 50629 50629 50629 222 222 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 342220 50629 222 X 0 0 0 0 42996 32247 4300 6449 0 83369 63260 20109 0 9071 6850 1576 645 12299 9296 2375 628 0 1520 1520 17939 17939 0 0 0 55125 55125 3282 3282 6167 5550 309 308 7908 7117 396 395 0 27685 24917 1384 1384 964 868 48 48 0 0 0 0 0 2328 466 1513 349 Space - Equip/Furniture/Sound 17640 17640 Costumes & Program Supplies 2706 2706 Miscellaneous 572 572 0 291571 229324 52041 10206 35558 128013 205951 151459 31738 1432 0 0 0 0 0 0 1252 1252 0 0 0 0 0 0 273247 280904 56294 13302 56294 13302 X 171900 222481 45053 45121 216953 267602 273247 280904 50649 X X false false false X 38634 137297 120319 305745 291369 893364 0 0 38634 137297 120319 305745 291369 893364 12742 880622 45 56 80 198 222 601 0 0 893965 0.98510 0.89940 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1252 1252 Raissa Simpson Board Family 42996 Employee Compensation false Schedule L, Part V Supplemental Information Brian Simpson is the treasurer of the Board of Directors and the brother of Raissa Simpson, who is the Artistic Director/CEO of the Organization.
