Dawn Quaker (apprentice "Artist" 2004 Season; apprentice 2005 Season, resigned with final day November 1, 2005) - victim of "Culture" and individuals they met during this time as of July 2020/ please know that this is Dawn Quaker writing this and as of February 5, 2021, I am still being abused by individuals who did, or are said to be individuals who did work at Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet or Cedar Lake Ensemble (ie. "Cedar Lake") and they are said by them, to be paid by Nancy Walton Laurie, the owner of Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet. This is being updated by me on February 5, 2021, and also, please know after writing this at approximately 2:37 pm est I was told by those abusing me internally that "Cedar Lake" built out a Venture Capital firm based on their participation in the Hate Crimes against me given the timing; they are first mentioning this to me via this means of abuse on again, February 5, 2021, and in doing so undermined yet, again, my own work and email to a representative of an investment firm I respect based on how I know them, Village Capital, which I was writing as they were abusing me, and then, they brought of their VC firm and said, that basically, they would consider investing in me, and I prefer first they stop torturing me, which their abuse is by definition, irrespective of how it is marketed, accepted, or framed, and I do think if grown out of Hate and based on that as the former companies are said to build off of my companies and commit Hate Crimes against me, and so, am curious if their investment arm invests in these ventures, as well, and if so, then perhaps, they need to be reported to the FBI, SEC, and any other entities that would be potentially forced to work with or oversee them, or their companies, and in the FBI's case as a potential Hate Group or terrorist organization or one that supports either based on how they have treated me and do treat me as evident in their abuse of me today and/or what they have potentially participated in doing since the inception of the company in the cases of whoever was involved when Cedar Lake Ensemble was first founded in what may have been 2001 or 2002 in Missouri, Nevada, or New York City.
