The Rêve

The Rêve is a unique dance and theater project built around a nascent queer and trans intentional community nestled on 14 acres in the Hudson Valley. Founded in April 2019, this community, located on land historically inhabited by the Esopus tribe, has grown to include 76 members, with 58 actively supporting their work through Patreon. Their Patreon earnings, currently estimated around $451 monthly (ranging from $57 to $5700), reflect the growing interest in their project. The Rêve's work distinguishes itself by integrating artistic expression with the building of a sustainable and inclusive community, offering a rare blend of creative content and social impact. The community's focus on queer and trans inclusion within the context of intentional living makes their project particularly unique within the dance and theater world. Their journey, documented through Patreon, highlights the challenges and rewards of establishing a self-sufficient and supportive community while exploring artistic expression.
