An Alternative Burns Night 2024 - Indepen-dance Fundraiser is an incredible event that aims to celebrate Burns Night while supporting a creative charity called Indepen-dance. Now in its fourth year, this event will take place on Sunday, January 28, 2024, at the iconic Glasgow venue, Mono. The evening will be filled with performances by a lineup of contemporary artists such as Danyo, Tina Sandwich, Tianah Tucker, Sissy Scorpio, Indepen-dance, and more to be announced. Additionally, there will be a showcase of exhibiting artists including Dylan Lombard, Siobhan Chalmers, and The Craft Pottery. To make this event accessible to everyone, a sliding scale donation system is in place. Attendees have the freedom to choose how much they want to donate, with suggested amounts ranging from £5.00 to £10.00. The sliding scale ensures that individuals from various financial backgrounds can attend. The event recognizes that some may struggle to meet basic needs and offers entry below £5.00. Those who can comfortably cover their daily costs are encouraged to donate between £5.00 and £8.00. Lastly, individuals who are employed and can easily meet daily costs are encouraged to donate between £9.00 and £10.00. All donations made during An Alternative Burns Night 2024 - Indepen-dance Fundraiser will directly support Indepen-dance, an award-winning inclusive dance company that provides opportunities for disabled and non-disabled individuals through classes, performances, education, and volunteering in Glasgow. This event serves as a response to cuts in creative funding and education. It aims to raise awareness and demand better funding for the arts by celebrating Burns Night through a showcase of contemporary performers. Mono, the venue for this event, is fully wheelchair accessible and offers accessible facilities. The spaces are beautifully lit, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
