SUPPORT DAIMOHK

Until its status with the Chechen Ministry of Culture, the annual international tour was Daimohk's sole source of income, and this has been crucial for the upkeep of the company. While the tours themselves constitute a significant expense, Daimohk also requires funds to pay instructors and musicians in Grozny and to repair and replace costumes. In addition, CPCD is assisting Daimohk in an ambitious project to reconstruct its dance rehearsal hall.

Construction of dance hall in Grozny

Since the loss of their rehearsal hall to a bomb in 1999, Daimohk have been practising in a school hall in the local area. The strong demands of the rehearsal programme, however, impacts quite considerably on the activities and timetables of the school itself, and it is unlikely that this arrangement will be able to continue into the new year. CPCD is partnering Daimohk in the construction of a new dance hall, which would not only allow the group to rehearse in conditions that are specifically adapted for dance, but also to allow the company to grow by providing a permanent and stable centre for dance for the youth of Grozny.

CPCD welcomes any donations from organisations or individuals to assist with Daimohk's development. Cheques with donations should be made payable to "Daimohk":
