What Does NPAFE Do For People In The World Of Dance?
…from Isabelle Nelson’s immersive dance film “KERN”
…We hope the following information about our National Performing Arts Funding Exchange nonprofit will be helpful to you.
…NPAFE has a dual mission: to increase the global audience for dance, and to help dancers and choreographers by providing free marketing and business counseling, and to help raise funds for their projects. NPAFE also funds specific projects from its own resources.
There is no formal application process for any of these services. Whether by watching social media or receiving a direct inquiry from a performing artist like you, once we learn about someone who may have a strong commitment to dance, we reach out to see if our help can be useful to them.
…Part of that work is helping dancers and choreographers with their marketing, including creating individual web pages on the NPAFE website that they can use any way they wish; these are examples:
- Constance Devernay-Laurence – England & France
- Manon Servage – England
- Joan Dwiartanto – New York City
- Anastasiya Kharchenko – Ukraine
- Amy Groves – England
- Grace Copeland – New York City
..NPAFE’s AAlchemy initiative is special. AAlchemy exists to showcase the filmed work product resulting from innovative collaboration between choreographers and dancers on the one hand, and their video, cinematography and production teams on the other. AAlchemy’s own streaming platform is “AAlchemy Online”, the actual pilot to incentivize Netflix to stream these creators’ video work product, with 90% or more of any revenue earned going back to the creators. Our partnerships with Amazon Prime and YouTube already exist; we launched the AAlchemy Online pilot on those platforms in mid-2023 and are adding new videos all the time; you can see them here.
…More importantly, AAlchemy is raising more than $7 million to be allocated to choreographers and dancers with close collaborative relationships with videographers and technical teams to create “Immersion Of The Mind”TM 2D immersive videos centered on dance.

…This AAlchemy web page explains what Immersion Of The Mind means in actual practice; it includes video examples pointing to the exceptional talent of that small handful of creators who are developing this special immersive cinematic art. As noted above, all of our work in this regard is free.
…We hope this brief explanation will be useful in understanding what NPAFE and AAlchemy are all about; we would value the opportunity to meet with you to learn whether and how we might help you.
…Let us know your thoughts and whether you would like to meet in person or by Zoom to find out more. Reach us at info@npafe.org.

- Therese Gahl (we are updating that page)
- Naveen Tan
