“Part of my LEIMAY Fellowship involved a presentation of my work in the OUTSIGHT Series at the Dorothy Streslin Community Garden. The work that I was cultivating had, up until OUTSIGHT, lived in the LEIMAY space. The space itself is a blank canvas. White box with marley is hard to come by in NYC and having it to create both complicated my process and enhanced it.

“Finding and renting a rehearsal studio when creating choreographies has been a significant burden, so LEIMAY’s incubator program was very helpful in my creative process. The studio is in a convenient and trendy location in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The studio with a sprung floor and a beautiful ceiling window was like my dream rehearsal studio. The staff at LEIMAY was very friendly, supportive, efficient, and quick to respond to any of my questions. Thanks to LEIMAY’s Incubator program, I could develop my practice of body movement and Zen meditation relationships. Thank you.” – Anonymous, Incubator Artist, 2024
