<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Sarah Freeman is ecstatic to join The Lucky Penny,
especially when she compares this internship to her last job seeing old
peoples’ skin cancer at her father’s dermatology office. She is a rising junior
at Emory University where she is a double major in Dance/ Movement Studies and
English. After choreographing musical theater for several years in high school,
Sarah has enjoyed the switch from Broadway to modern by performing with the
Emory Dance Company for two years. Recently she presented her solo composition <i>“The gilded creature strains and spins”</i>
at the American College Dance Festival in Tampa, FL, where it was chosen for
the final Gala Performance. In the fall, Sarah will be traveling to London to
study abroad for the semester and change her status of “never moved out of
Georgia”. Working with The Lucky Penny is her first foray into the larger
Atlanta dance and art world. She hopes that all the amazing people she will
meet and experiences she will gain this summer will help her decide what to do
after graduation, but suggestions are always welcome. In addition to helping
Blake and Malina this summer, Sarah also hopes
to find inspiration for her next piece, which will feature <i>Mrs. Dalloway</i> and a Kit-Kat bar. She is so thankful to The Lucky
Penny for giving her this amazing chance to learn about all the aspects of
production and running a dance company!</span><o:p></o:p></div>

Heads Up, Lucky Pennies. Some incredible things have been happening...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In an astonishing act of generosity, The Robert Rauschenberg Foundation <em>surprised us</em> with a 3-year, $30,000 operating support grant from their SEED Fund. We are so humbled, thrilled and encouraged by the news!</div>
<br />
Creative Loafing gave us two honors in their Best Of 2012 Issue: Best reason to hole up in a cardboard box (Threshold) and Best Dancer (Blake Beckham). <br />
<br />
In recognition of the ambitious vision behind Threshold, The Lucky Penny received Spotlight Recognition from The National Endowment for the Arts. <br />
<br />
This fall, Lucky's Blake Beckham received a Community Impact Award from Emory's Center for Creativity & Arts. <br />
<br />
Our deepest thanks to these fine folks, along with Lucky's supporters, sponsors, volunteers and audiences.The Lucky Pennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17282083656384949137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5373403037428197194.post-13147410820607180412012-09-04T14:55:00.000-04:002012-09-04T14:57:02.560-04:00Check out the video by Room Eleven Media<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="281" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/48601721" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitallowfullscreen" width="500"></iframe> <br />

In 2006 he released his first music CD, Songs From Yes and No. This was followed by the single Solstice in 2008, with a music video directed by underground film legend George Kuchar. Ditzler released Closet Studies, his latest collection of songs, in 2011. In 2012 he will revive the performance art work Desirium Probe by the New York artist James Nares – the work’s first presentation since 1978.</span></div>
