More About the MineCart

MineCart is an experiment in social entrepreneurship and an incubator for boundary-stretching performing artists creating new work.

MineCart provides technical assistance, grant-writing support, marketing guidance, business consulting, moral support, and giddy enthusiasm to artists who fire up our imagination. We provide this support for dirt cheap on a "pay what you can" basis.

MineCart also incubates, produces, and presents its own works, most recently a dance tribute to avant garde filmmaker and poet James Broughton on the 100th anniversary of his birthday.

That "social entrepreneurship" part… MineCart is not a non-profit organization. We hope to one day make some modest profit, much of which will be folded back into the company to amplify our ability to support great artists. For now, that profit is merely speculative. Heck, even breaking even is still a speculative ambition. It's an experiment. Maybe it will work. Maybe we'll have to revise our plans or draw what lessons we can from a failure before moving on to a better idea. But for now, we're having a great time being a part of bringing to life some works that have our heads tingling.

MineCart is a project of Thomas Bell, former dance journalist, current dancer and dance-maker, and long-time supporter of the Atlanta dance community.

Want to Create Here?

Do you have a new creation burning a hole through the soles of your shoes? Do you think MineCart could help you dig up this dance, this play, this performance art piece, this work that won’t sit content in any particular container?

Cool.

For now, MineCart’s process is an informal one. Get in touch. Tell us what has you fired up, what you want to create. Excite us. Then let’s see what we can work out.
