The Money Conversation: Sara Juli in conversation with Juliana May

Artist Sara Juli talks with choreographer Juliana May about her work as a fundraising consultant to independent artists and Juli’s 2006 work “The Money Conversation,” in which she handed out her life savings to members of the audience. As Juli says, “There’s nothing wrong with making art in your living room… but as soon as you want funding or you want money in a formal way, then you have to be prepared to answer difficult questions about your process, who you are, why it’s important, and why should I care?”

From the CC editors

This Winter, Marissa Perel joins Lydia Bell as artist co-editor. We will share writings and conversations that consider dance and the presence of the body across forms. We are interested in an ongoing investigation into value, time, economies, processes and histories of artists and communities in the U.S. and abroad. We want to engage with your ideas and interests; please contact us with your submission inquiries.

Critical Correspondence is an artist-driven project of Movement Research that aims to activate, develop and increase the visibility of critical discourse on dance and movement-based performance work.

We initiate conversations and writings to map the language surrounding current practices and to establish a dialogue between artists and others who are engaged with this work. We also host contributions from artists/writers traveling, working in different localities or reporting from a particular working process.
