Executive and Artistic Director
New Dance Allianceâs mission, from the earliest days, has been to support experimental movement-based artists. We have an explicit commitment to equity and inclusion, and our programs center the work of artists from historically marginalized communitiesâacross racial identities and the gender spectrum. We provide space, residencies, performance, and networking opportunities that help artists cultivate relationships, develop their artistry, and open doors to share their work in the US and internationally.
The NEA (National Endowment for the Arts) announced earlier this year its cancellation of funds to hundreds of arts organizations throughout the country, including New Dance Alliance.
This is a blow to the cultural institutions enriching our lives everyday, who rely on any and all funding available to keep operations running.

In these uncertain, confusing times, we feel taken care of & clearly communicated with. Thank you.”
