Lucie André grew up loving stories. After finishing a degree in English, she went to New York where she learned you could eke out a living connecting generous artists with generous patrons. An epic fundraiser for major dance companies was born! This taught Lucie just how much she liked hanging around with big thinkers - especially the ones who sing, dance, paint, and draw.
In her late twenties, Lucie worked for a remarkable dance company where two of the nine male dancers died of AIDS. For years she waited for someone else to write about this beautiful terrible time, when we were all growing into ourselves despite the suffering.
Post-pandemic, in Baltimore, Lucie was finally “ready.”
