Cats Paying Dues opened and closed the first session of the TED Fellows retreat back in August 2015. It was an awesome experience to bring tap dance to the TED stage and share the opportunity with a group of local San Fransisco tap dancers. We met them all the day before the show and put together a brand new piece reflecting on the unique nature of tap dance and the tap dance community based on those old standards the Shim Sham, and B.S. Chorus.

Check out the article about the event and a super cool video of the performance on the TED Ideas Blog here.

CPD10 Celebration Brought Tons of Love to TPAC

CPD10-CatsFlying

Wow!! What an amazing week. So many people contributed to making CPD10 the success that it was. We’d like to thank our amazing creative team of Rob Harari (Production/Sound Design) and Nicholas Houfek (Lighting Design) who brought each suite to life in the space, while Colyn Fiendel (Stage Manager) made sure everything went smoothly behind the scenes.  The staff and crew at Tribeca Performing Arts Center hosted us with constant professionalism as we put Three Suites on its legs. None of this would have been possible without the financial support and continued encouragement of our kickstarter backers. Additional support came from the Ahmanson Charitable Community Trust, the Harnisch Foundation, and the Artist in Residence program of the Center for Faith and Work (who commissioned Entering the Waters).

Special thanks to Byblos Restaurant for hosting our VIP Reception.

To learn more about our charity partner visit Cedar Home for Girls here.

CPD10 has come to an end, but we’re really excited about what next season will hold, and we’re looking forward to sharing the journey with you!

Byblos Restaurant to Host CPD10 VIP Reception

Partner-Byblos-Square

When CPD debuted All For Love in 2005 we reached out to our friends at Byblos Restaurant for their amazing taste and catering services. They provided impeccable hors d’oeuvres to celebrate the company’s first endeavor. You can imagine the joy when Byblos offered to host the Opening Night VIP Reception for #CPD10, the debut of Three Suites and a benefit for Cedar Home for Girls (Nabay, Lebanon). It brings us such joy that we are partnering with Byblos Restaurant again to celebrate our 10 years.

Byblos is a family owned and operated restaurant. Using the freshest and finest ingredients available they serve traditional Lebanese cuisine with exquisite taste.

Following the opening night world premiere of Three Suites, VIP ticket holders will be transported to Byblos Restaurant for a private celebration with the cast. Hors d’oeuvres and complimentary champagne (and full cash bar) will be supplemented by live music.
