Fermata Ballet Collective

🌎 🌍Earth Day is Every Day at Fermata!
The calendar might have turned, but our commitment to the planet is year-round. We are thrilled to showcase some pieces from FBC’s Sustainable Merch Line, designed and brought to life by resident artist, Ashley Newport.

⭐ Why This Merch Matters:
Second-Hand First: Every article is crafted using pre-loved clothing.
Zero Waste Mission: By upcycling, we give garments a second life and keep textile waste out of landfills.
Art with a Purpose: Honoring our mission beyond movement, by creating wearable art that reflects Fermata’s passion for nurturing the world we call home.

FBC cares deeply for the planet we share. From our partnership with BottleDrop, our sustainable merch line-created by resident artist Ashley Newport, to our dancer’s day to day lives, we strive to live in harmony with the environment in which we create in. Our work invites audiences and artists alike to imagine a more expansive, accessible, and truthful future for dance and the planet. One of FBC’s core values is collective responsibility, we believe that small actions in community can create large ripple effects to the world at large. Join us in supporting the planet this Earth Day, and every day. 💚

Happy Pride Month from FBC! 🩰✨🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

This month & always , we celebrate the vibrant strength, creativity, and love of our LGBTQIA+ artists, collaborators, and community.

We especially uplift q***r and trans artists, whose vision, resilience, and brilliance have only continued to pave way for the future of art making and expand what’s possible within the dance field and beyond.

At Fermata, we believe movement is a space for truth, transformation, and belonging. Pride Month reflects the very values we live by equitable experiences, radical inclusion, authentic expression, and the power of community to imagine a world rooted in love.

We’re also thrilled to announce many upcoming events happening right here in Eugene, where you can visit our table, witness a live performance, and celebrate with us in community! Stay tuned for dates and details!! we’re so excited about this momentum and can’t wait to connect with you all. 💫

Here’s to joy, liberation, and dancing in our truth together. 💜 most of all, come out and support our q***r/trans artist within our collective! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💌
