FREE ADVICE

FREE ADVICE, launched with co-founder Alice MacDonald in 2016, is an event-based co-mentorship platform that increases transparency and connection in the dance field, democratizing access to information by helping dance artists help one another. The non-hierarchical format pairs participants based on their self-described needs and expertise, so every participant acts as both a mentor and mentee.

FREE ADVICE has been supported with programming at Movement Research, Spaceworks, and Brooklyn Studios for Dance.
