Caroline Calouche & Co. is celebrating 10 years of producing Clara’s Trip: A Cirque & Dance Nutcracker Story. Clara’s Trip has quickly become a new holiday tradition for many in Charlotte. The show run will be at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center’s Booth Playhouse on December 15 - 20.
Clara’s Trip is a contemporary twist on a holiday classic. Artistic Director Caroline Calouche performed The Nutcracker many times in her childhood and dreamed of inventing her version. For the past nine years, her adaptation has brought joy to audiences of all ages. Filled with athletic and high-energy dancing on the ground and in the air, the unique take on the classic story is the perfect holiday treat for your friends and family.
Calouche’s story begins with Clara, a beautiful young and single woman, attending a holiday party hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Flowers. At the party, she meets Beau, who quickly sweeps her off her feet. Clara is a passionate dancer but not the most coordinated. She trips, falls, and is whisked off to the hospital to learn that her ankle is broken. Her friends cheer her up with some gifts that come to life in her dreams. High-flying feats and breathtaking performances follow in this memorable cirque & dance spin on the classic Nutcracker tale.

Curious about giving circles and how the model can help your organization increase community engagement, diversify your donor base, create close connections with local, grassroots nonprofits, and embed your organization’s mission further into the community?

During this 45-minute webinar, Philanthropy Together will share an overview on the benefits of giving circles and how your institution can successfully and sustainably host giving circles, building off more than a decades’ worth of research. You’ll also learn more about Launchpad For Hosts, an incubator and leadership development training for Community Foundations, Jewish Federations, and other philanthropic intermediaries looking to host giving circles.

Looking for ways to build power and uplift your community? You bring the vision to start your giving circle—we have the tips and tools to help you from vision to reality!

During this 90-minute interactive training, we’ll cover the core design and structure for a thriving giving circle and the steps to take to start your own.

Giving circles support and represent work in every aspect of our social fabric, providing essential support, enriching our communities and cultural life, and taking action where change is needed. However, individuals with first-hand experience often have lots of ideas and solutions, but are not always positioned to share those on a path to impact which can reinforce patterns of power and privilege that uphold systemic racism.

Join giving circle leaders Akilah Wallace, Founder and Chair and Tyeshia Wilson, Chair-Elect of HERitage Giving Fund for a two-part series where you'll learn how to recognize and utilize your members' lived experiences as a tool for racial equity. Participants will explore volunteer activities and patterns that perpetuate inequities, how to thoughtfully center member voices and lived experiences, and ultimately, how member engagement, when designed well, can be a part of supporting an end to racial inequity and social injustice.

The series will highlight real examples, both from HERitage’s work and other giving circles across the country.

LUNAR launched their inaugural giving circle in July 2021. For twelve weeks 11 Asian American women and gender non-conforming folks came together to engage in deep learning on their relationship to race and racism, resource needs in Black and Indigenous communities, and to collectively imagine new ways of flowing resources that shift and share power, build authentic relationship, and embody solidarity.

LUNAR is currently in their 2nd cohort, which has evolved into a 6 month program and continues to pool $100,000 per cohort to flow in solidarity with Black and Indigenous communities.

Join us as LUNAR’s co-founders Yichen Feng and Sabrina Wu share some of the key learnings.
